1946 THE LAST WAR OF INDEPENDENCE
Description
Pramod Kapoor's compelling narrative of the Royal Indian Navy uprising of February 1946 in Mumbai and Karachi meticulously researches the seven-day face-off between the naval mutineers, a divided press and an impassioned public opinion, ranged on the one side and the colonial government and the all India nationalist political parties on the other, in a nail-biting, blow by blow account that, in all probability, accelerated the departure of the British from India. What followed was a conspiracy of silence hatched between understandably nervous post-colonial military establishments and Independence historians on both sides of the border, and the creation of a cast-iron taboo that has survived to this present day. Kapoor has unveiled a hidden chapter of our shared history for which he is to be warmly congratulated.
