If India's expanded purchases of Russisn crude at heavily discounted prices led to cheaper fuel for Indian citizens, that could at least be justified as 'enlightened self interest'. BUT, I understand the rise in purchases of Russin crude parallels the export of refined petrol
The biggest Refinery is in '#Jamnagar owned and run by Reliance. Are they the only ones to benefit from India's Russian crude adventure?

A revolt of Navy that would have stopped Partition of #India - A thread.
On the slight autumn day of 18 Feburary 1946 a revolt broke out in Royal Indian Navy by the Sailors. Britishers after World War 2 started to reduce the numbers of sailors. Again it’s simple use and throw policy used here. The numbers were to be reduced from 27, 650 to 11,000.
Reasons sailors revolted were:
• Wages were low.
• Food quality was terrible.
• Indian sailors were ill treated by the British officers.
• Britishers called Indian sailors who supported them in World War 2, colies, black bastards.
• Racism in the RNI was at it’s peak.
