	The Royal Indian Navy Mutiny - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The RIN Mutiny (Also called the Bombay Mutiny) encompasses a total strike and subsequent mutiny by the Indian sailors of the Royal Indian Navy on board ship and shore establishments at Bombay (Mumbai) harbour on 18 February 1946.
		It is therefore arguable that the mutiny,had it continued and confronted the threat of the RIN commander Admiral Godfrey to destroy the fleet, would have put the British Raj on the path of a malestrom of popular movement which would have seen British exit from south-east asia under very circumstances than eventually happened.
		The navy itself was marginal in terms of state power; Indian troops were at this time being swept by a wave of nationalist sentiments, as would be proved by the mutinies that occurred in the Royal Indian Air Force[1].

		There is an evaluation of the mutiny which argues that had it continued, and confronted the threat of the RIN commander Admiral Godfrey to destroy the fleet, the British would have been faced by a mass popular mo v ement which could have propelled them from India under very different circumstances than eventually occurred.
		This derives from the assessment that even had they destroyed the RIN (which they possessed the naval force sufficient to do),, they would then h ave been likely to be unable to control India with the forces at their disposal.
		The navy itself was marginal in terms of state power; there were already sgns that Indian troops were potentially unreliable in the current situation, and shortly after this mutinies occurred in the Royal Indian Air Force.
