The Royal Indian Navy revolt (1946–56) was such an incident which really compelled the English to realize that it was not possible for them to rule India any longer. This revolt troubled the English officials as well as the Indian politicians equally. Both the parties took hands in hand to suppress this revolt. The so called nationalist leader Sardar Patel, who is also known as “Iron Man”, supported the deeds of the English officials by severely criticizing the revolt. Nehru used to encourage the soldiers indirectly by his speeches but never helped the navy men in their crucial time. Mahatma Gandhi severely criticized the Hindu Muslim unity during this movement. Though Leftist leader Aruna Asafali advised the Navy men a little; later on her attitude got changed negatively towards this movement. The navy men, whom Patel had criticized as undisciplined, lastly, surrendered as per the wishes of Patel and set an example of being a disciplined navy.
