Notes The United Struggle of 1946

Abstract

The history of our freedom movement is the saga of innumerable armedstruggles. One after another, these struggles kept on challenging the British rule in India. However, during and after the Second World War, these struggles acquired a new momentum and new strength. The revolutionary spirit of Indian National Army (INA) had greatly affected the British Indian Armed Forces. Between March 1942 and the beginning of 1946 there were nineteen uprisings in the Royal Indian Navy alone. The most important was the Royal Indian Navy (RIN) revolt of 1946 which paved the way for freedom.
