2. Indian Navy Revolt, 1946 took place when the Indian sailors in the Royal Indian Navy at Bombay and Karachi rose against the Government.
Which of the statements is/are correct?

Accepted Answer

The correct answer is B because only the second statement is historically accurate.

Regarding statement 1, the Shimla Conference of 1945 was convened by Lord Wavell, not Lord Mountbatten. Lord Wavell served as the Viceroy of India from 1943 to 1947, while Lord Mountbatten succeeded him later in March 1947.

Regarding statement 2, the Indian Navy Revolt, also known as the Royal Indian Navy Mutiny, began in February 1946. It started with a strike by ratings of the HMIS Talwar in Bombay and quickly spread to Karachi and other naval establishments. The sailors were protesting against racial discrimination, poor food, and the trials of the Indian National Army.
