On Feb 18, 1946, approx. 2,000 #Indian sailors initiated a #revolt in #Mumbai, leading to the deaths of around 400 individuals by security forces’ gunfire. As the #IndianNavy laid a wreath at the Naval Uprising memorial in Cooperage on Sunday, memories of this revolt are revived, honouring the sailors whose act of bravery sparked the #mutiny’s spread to places like #Karachi, #Aden, and #SoutheastAsia, sending a clear message to the #British to relinquish their dominion.
