Podcast: Politicians Did Not Support 1946 Naval Mutiny But it Hastened Independence

In conversation with author Pramod Kapoor.

The Naval Mutiny is a forgotten chapter from Indian nationalist history. Now author Pramod Kapoor has written a book on it, with archival material and interviews with the descendants of the original mutineers.

In this podcast interview with Sidharth Bhatia, Kapoor speaks on the background of the revolt and why bigger political parties disapproved of it even though it shook the British Empire.
