The 1946 Naval Uprising was a revolt of the Indian naval ratings against the British government in India. From Bombay, the revolt spread throughout British India, from Karachi to Calcutta, n ultimately came to involve over 20,000 sailors in 78 ships and shore establishments 2/n
Officers who opposed the strike were thrown off ships n Mumbai reverberated with cries of “Jai Hind” n slogans of liberation. British officers were forced to shout “Jai Hind” by the sailors. The Taj Mahal Hotel n Yacht Club, all had guns trained on them throughout the day 3/n
