This Month in Indian History: Revolt in the Royal Indian Navy, 18-23 February 1946

Oral History Division’s Record (Extracts), NMML

This Month in Indian History: Revolt in the Royal Indian Navy, 18-23 February 1946

Shri Shyam Lal Manchanda:           Please tell us about the Naval Mutiny (1946)? When they raised the banner of revolt and came to the mainland from the ships, what was the attitude of the Communists? Did they come to the PHQ?

Shri Govind Vidyarthi:                         Yes. Their representatives came to the PHQ and we had all the news earlier because their telephone messages were coming. We had our people who used to come to us with the message. People used to speak to the members of the Communist Party: Here are the details; this is happening. Whatever they could do, not only from Bombay ship, but ships in other places also, whenever they came to our place, they gave us news; they used to send us reports. So we sent our people. Our Party created a set of people to monitor them because they were doing careful work. As I told you, without original agreement, some of our comrades were trained in sort of a guerilla warfare by the British, through Maxwell Pact. So out of those people trained in that, two or three were available in Bombay and they were sent to contact these people, carrying the news up and down. All of them were not allowed to come to us; they were in the ship. We were doing that work; we were very well informed. In fact, probably, I interviewed one or two people because quite a few of them were form Kerala. They had come and I took their interview in Malayalam about their affairs, what happened, what provoked them and what happened to them.

Shri Shyam Lal Manchanda:                 What were precisely the real cause?

Shri Govind Vidyarthi:                      Real cause was ill-treatment and war duty was very powerful work indeed. They were being carried from place to place without any special money paid to them. They sensed that they were being treated as second-rate citizens. This was the case with the category of officers in Bombay also in the British days. Some places had absolutely Englishmen; that gradation was there. They got the promotion with other duty of work and other things. So a lot of people among them came out and became leaders of the movement. One of them was from Kerala who later on died. He was working in The Times of India.

Shri Govind Vidyarthi (1912-2006): Freedom Fighter, Artistand Journalist from New Delhi.

Transcript of the interview is in two volumes of 519 pages and recorded on 30 March 1995.

The interview is a voluminous recollections which includes, among others, social, cultural, religious and political atmosphere in rural Kerala and awareness of Hindi language; experiences of his stay in a village near Allahabad while learning Hindi; stay at Banaras; R.D. Bharadwaj; experiences while touring with P.C. Joshi when he was on nationwide tour in the 1930s; stay in Bombay – National Front and Raj Bhavan; activities of CPI before and after declaration of People’s War; B.T. Ranadive and P.C. Joshi; naval strike and CPI in Bombay; Bombay during partition; Second Party congress, Calcutta (1948); activities soon after Calcutta Congress till suspension from the Party; stay with P.C. Joshi in Calcutta during underground days; factional groups in CPI; activities after suspension was revoked; Jawaharlal Nehru and Sangeet Natak Akademi, Delhi; journalistic experiences.

Ms Shikha Mukerjee:           Now, would you tell us about Naval Mutiny (1946)?

Shri Jyoti Basu:                 In 1946, as you know, very important developments took place, Naval Mutiny – Air Force and Armed Forces were affected. The influence of the Indian National Army of Subhas Chandra Bose had also its effect. Our Party took a leading part in Bombay along with the ratings, who revolted against the British on some of their demands and they were threaten by the Air Force Commander – I forget his name. He declared: Within 24 hours if you do not surrender, we will bomb you from above. That day I was in Calcutta attending some meeting in 249, Bow Bazaar Street, which was our office for trade union as well as kisan sabha. Immediately two of us, Ismail and myself, went out to Sealdah Railway Station to organise a political strike of the workers against that threat against the mutineers. It was the first and a very big and successful strike of the railway workers for 24 hours.

Shri Jyoti Basu (1914-2010): Freedom Fighter, Trade Unionist and former Chief Minister of West Bengal.

Transcript of the interview is of 208 pages and recorded on 18 December 2001.

The transcript deals with, among other subjects, Basu’s stay in London (1935-39); entry into Communist Party of India (1940); CPI and Second World War; experiences in undivided Bengal Legislative Assembly; memories of Direct Action Day (1946); impact of partition in West Bengal; Tibhaga movement; Second Party Congress (1948), arrest and jail life (1948); P.C.

Homage to V.D. Savarkar (28 May 1883-26 February 1966)

MEMBER OF PARLIAMENT

                                (LOK SABHA)                                      

                                                                                                                                                  Girgaon

1966

V.D. Savarkar was the founder of the Revolutionary movement in Maharashtra. He gathered round him a band of young patriots in Maharashtra when he was in his teens. Nasik was the centre of his activity. He by his speeches, writings and poems fostered the idea of Revolution among young boys in Maharashtra and joined the Indian revolutionaries in England. He sacrificed everything for the sake of his Revolutionary objective. He passed most precious part of his life in Andaman Island as a prisoner. He was a poet of a high order and orator who powerfully appealed to the masses. He was rightly described as the Prince of the Indian Revolutionaries.

After announcement of Indian Independence in 1947, he lived as a loyal citizen of Independent India although he was pained at the partition of India into Bharat and Pakistan. His ideal was “Akhanda Hindustan”.

He led Hindu-Sabha movement and made it dynamic with his ideal of Hindudom. But he expressed unreservedly his satisfaction at the end of the foreign domination and establishment of Independent Indian Republic.

His activities will always form a glorious chapter in the history of the struggle for Indians emancipation from the foreign rule and attainment of the status of Independent republic in the community of Nations. His death will be unanimously mourned throughout India. But the glory of his life and his literature will remain a source of inspiration for young boys and girls for many more generations to come.

Moments from V.D. Savarkar’s life (28 May 1883-26 February 1966)

18.1.20

            Revered Mahatmaji,

            Thankfully recvd your reply to my last. Yesterday I was informed by the Govt. of India that the Savarkar Brothers were not included in those that are to be released.

            The telegram runs as follows. ‘your telegram 8^th inst. Savarkar Brothers have not been included in those receiving clemency under the amnesty.’

            It is now clear that the Indian Govt. have decided not to release them. Please, let me hear from you as to how to proceed in such circumstances.

            They (my brothers) have already undergone a rigorous sentence for more than ten years in the Andamans & their health is utterly shattered. Their weight has come down from 118 to 95 – 100. Though they are given a Hospital diet at present, their health does not show any sign of improvement. At least a change to some Indian jail of better climate is the most essential for them. I have received a letter from one of them very recently (a month back) in which all this is mentioned.

            I hope that you will let me know what you mean to do in this matter.

Yours sincerely,

N.D. Savarkar

Dear Dr. Savarkar,

I have your letter. It is difficult to advise you. I suggest, however, your framing a brief petition setting forth the facts of the case bringing out in clear relief the fact that the offence committed by your brother was purely political. I suggest this in [order] that it would be possible to concentrate public attention on the case. Meanwhile as I have said to you in an earlier letter I am moving in the matter in my own way.

Yours sincerely,

THE SOUL OF INDIA

Coeval with earth’s oldest empires which are now no more than shadowy myths and memories, and yet contemporary with the youngest world republics in the anguish of their struggle for liberty, India stands supreme amid the marvels of historic survival, and unique among the miracles of historic paradox.

            For her earliest record reaching back to periods so remote as to be legendary, holds in a fine perfection of achievement those living principles of national freedom and international federation which we are wont to consider the monopoly of our modern age.

            Incomparable too and sublime in its austere, heiratic splendour is the tale of her spiritual evolution which, through all the tumult and suffering of centuries of foreign invasion and domination has kept the inmost Soul of India inaccessible and unconquered, endowed with a perennial vitality and an unmeasured power of ultimate self-renewal, able and ready after each dark epoch of political tribulation to fulfil the prophecy of her own Shri Krishna, and “be born again and again for the establishing of the national righteousness.”

            To-day, She-the Immutable, the Immemorial-endures once more the poignant travail of her destined renascence, and her imminent To-morrow can seek no lovelier inspiration than the chronicle of her immortal Yesterday, which offers an ideal so comprehensive and complete in the far-famed efficiency of her elaborate civil and military organisations, her commercial enterprise, her economic prosperity, her matchless learning and her majestic art.

            Her old village democracies, self-governing and self-contained, were the living units of an immense Imperial commonwealth; her ancient academies and universities were the living temples of the national culture and the national consciousness; her caravan-ways and her sea-ways conveyed to the furthest kingdoms of man not only the precious treasure of her sumptuous merchandise, but the priceless riches of her resplendent thought.

            Her civic life was conserved and sustained by that wondrous and versatile caste-system which, now so bitter a source of strife and disunion, represented in that stately era a true division of labour: separate social guilds for united patriotic service. Her priests and her poets were the interpreters and guardians of her transcendent wisdom; her warriors kept alive the tradition of her chivalry and valour as keen and dazzling as their swords; her tillers and her traders, her industrial and her pastoral people were all alike the custodians of the national welfare and the national wealth.

            And-highest proof of a country’s civilization-her womanhood enjoyed a freedom and franchise unknown in the modern world. For the woman of Ancient India had her lofty and legitimate place and function in the daily life of her race. Not only was it her sweet privilege to tend the hearth-fires and sacrificial fires in the happy and narrow seclusion of her home, but wide as humanity itself were the opportunities and occasions of her compassionate service, her intellectual triumphs and her saintly renunciations. Her agile and brilliant mind had access to the most intricate sciences and occult philosophies. Not seldom in her capacity as queen, regnant or regent, was she called upon to prove the subtlety and sagacity, the breadth and daring of her state-craft.

            And age after age, she vindicated the fidelity and fortitude, the courage and devotion of her love, on the funeral pyre which was so often the crucible of her purity, on the battlefield which was so frequently the altar of her heroism in defence of the Indian Honour of which she was at once the symbol and the shrine.

            Shall not the heirs of such illustrious ideals be justified in their belief that in their splendid past lie the promise and guarantee of a splendid future? For, as a great modern thinker has said “Not in possessions but in ideals are to be found the seeds of immortality.” …

ORAL HISTORY PROJECT

Though historians and biographers have long been known to compile some of their data by talking to those who witnessed or participated in important events, the concept of oral history as the collection of historical material for future scholars – a “continuous process of documentation through interviews” – is a comparatively recent phenomenon.  The first oral history project was started in Columbia University by the American historian, Prof. Allan Nevins in 1948. More than a hundred oral history projects have since been initiated in several countries.

The oral material has, of course, to be used as a source to supplement the existing documentation, to fill in gaps, to cross-check what is already known, to get back a “feel” of the period.  It has its own limitations as an oral recollection of past events, but it is meant for the scholar, who is expected to have already worked in depth on the subject in which he is specializing for doctoral or post-doctoral research, and may, therefore, be expected to make proper use of it.

The oral history project of the Nehru Memorial Museum and Library was conceived as part of its research activities and it is one of the pioneer institutions in India which has a huge repository of oral history archival material in the form of transcripts. As on 10 February 2017, the numbers of sessions of interviews have risen to 5,577 with 1,364 persons of which some have two parts. Out of 1,364 interviews, 931 transcripts have been processed and made available to research scholars for consultation.

 In the oral history project of the Nehru Memorial Museum and Library, the emphasis had so far been on the recollections of persons who came into contact with India’s great leaders or were connected with important political events or movements either as participants or as witnesses.

 Among those who had recorded their recollections are Sri Prakasa, Syed Mahmud, K.M. Munshi, Khan Abdul Ghaffar Khan, Acharya J.B. Kripalani, Smt. Renuka Ray, Smt. Kamaladevi Chattopadhyay, Dr Sushila Nayar, E.M.S. Namboodiripad, H.V. Kamath, A.P. Jain, Nawab of Chhatari, Dr Jivraj Mehta, H.M. Patel, Mauli Chand Sharma, Bhai Mahavir, General Mohan Singh, Sardar Naranjan Singh Gill, Col. P.K. Sahgal and Shah Nawaz Khan. Among the scientists interviewed are S. Chandrasekhar, Prof.  Satyendranath Bose, Dr Piyara Singh Gill, Dr H.N. Sethna, Dr Debendra Mohan Bose and Dr Suri Bhagavantam. The foreigners who have been interviewed include Lord Mountbatten, Lord Sorensen, Arnold Toynbee, Fenner Brockway, Horace Alexander, James Cameron, Yehudi Menuhin, Mrs Martin Luther King, Willy Brandt, T.F. Erlander, former Prime Minister of Sweden, Chancellor Kreisky of Austria, Pierre Mendes-France, Chester Bowles, Dr E.P. Thompson, Tibor Mende, Faiz Ahmed Faiz and others. Among the economists interviewed are Bimal Jalan, Dr Shankar Acharya, Prof. Ashok V. Desai, M. Narasimham, Dr Deepak Nayyar, Prof. Arvind Panagariya, P. Chidambaram, Montek Singh Ahluwalia and others.

With the passage of time, now the project covers issues of development related to reconstruction of post-independent India. The programme for oral history interviews is a continuing process. However, a body of valuable source material has already been accumulated to assist the historians of the period, who wish to write about the great personalities or movements of recent Indian history. This material, along with the vast and varied printed and manuscript materials collected by the Nehru Memorial Museum and Library, constitutes a significant contribution to the study of the history of modern India, and especially of Indian nationalism and post-Independence era.

In spite of our instructions to contrary this would wreck our entire movement.  It is our deliberate opinion that mass Civil Disobedience at Bardoli should be postponed for considerable period but defensive Civil Disobedience should be continued which would be quite sufficient to gain freedom of speech association and press.  Please place our views before working Committee.
