Must read - Many dont know that and should be informed ONLY Communist Party of India had supported Navy Revolt of 1946 and that Sri Vallabhbhai Patel and ALL Congress leaders had opposed the soldiers and supported British Viceroy's demand that soldiers must surrender.

The wiki article below uses wrong words --- the revolt was NOT called off. British got some regiments loyal to them, and surrounded Navy soldiers and started heavy firing on them, The Navy soldiers ran out of ammunitions and many were injured and would have died without medical aid. And due to Congress leaders, external help didnt come. Communist Party Workers were organizing massive strikes across Mumbai and were trying to get ammunitions and medicine to Indian soldiers. But they failed, and finally soldiers surrendered.
.
And back then, not even one RSS-leader supported the Indian soldiers who were giving armed fight against Briitish

Indian Naval personnel began calling themselves the "Indian National Navy" and offered left-handed salutes to British officers. At some places, NCOs in the British Indian Army ignored and defied orders from British superiors. In Madras and Poona (now Pune), the British garrisons had to face some unrest within the ranks of the Indian Army. Widespread rioting took place from Karachi to Calcutta. Notably, the revolting ships hoisted three flags tied together – those of the Congress, Muslim League, and the Red Flag of the Communist Party of India (CPI), signifying the unity and downplaying of communal issues among the mutineers.
The revolt was called off following a meeting between the President of the Naval Central Strike Committee (NCSC), M. S. Khan, and Vallab Bhai Patel of the Congress, who had been sent to Bombay to settle the crisis. Patel issued a statement calling on the strikers to end their action, which was later echoed by a statement issued in Calcutta by Mohammed Ali Jinnah on behalf of the Muslim League. Under these considerable pressures, the strikers gave way. Arrests were then made, followed by courts martial and the dismissal of 476 sailors from the Royal Indian Navy. None of those dismissed were reinstated into either the Indian or Pakistani navies after independence.
