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.

The first hostilities had broken-out between India & Pakistan!
However, known to a few, Pakistani Submarine Ghazi was already on the prowl on the Eastern coast of India since end-Nov - its target, the aircraft carrier #INSVikrant - the pride of #IndianNavy (2/n).

In fact, from 27 Nov onwards, PNS Ghazi hung around 5-10 miles off the harbour entrance, armed with torpedoes & mines, waiting for Vikrant.
Did Ghazi get its target? Or did Vikrant manage to counter the deadly submarine?

Remember the terrible days of #Andaman Cellular jail where political prisoners were so inhumanely tortured that some even succumbed to death.
Upon that, #VeerSavarkar was dealt more horribly than others... This entire episode may be taken on an another day...

Well, let's see what were the underlying circumstances when the world was on the brink of world war 1 (WW1) which actually made #VeerSavarkar to think to write a letter to the British in Sept. 1914...

1. This History Thread is about the #indigenous people of India’s #Andaman Islands known as #Sentinelese because they live on North Sentinel Island. Their names for themselves, their island are unknown to the outside world.
2. India’s Andaman Islands are an extension of a Burma/Myanmar mountain range in the Bay of Bengal separated from the mainland when sea levels rose post Ice Age. North Sentinel is to the west of the chain.
3. DNA analysis shows current indigenous peoples inhabited the Andaman Islands for about 18,000 years. Their DNA relates to mainland India’s Pauri Bhuiya and Munda peoples. Languages mostly unique to islands, some links to India mainland and Malaysia. journals.plos.org/plosone/articl…
