“When the British made a show of force, and threatened the ratings with low-level sorties by fighter aircraft, the ratings retaliated by training their ships’ guns on iconic Bombay landmarks, such as the Yacht Club, the Naval Dockyard, and the Gateway of India, with the warning that these would be blown up if the action escalated.”

“In his book, Last Years of British India, Michael Edwards, an imperialist historian, says: ‘The British had not feared Gandhi the reducer of the violence, they no longer feared Nehru, who was rapidly assuming the lineaments of statesmanship… but the ghost of Subhas Bose like Hamlet’s father, walked the battlement of Red Fort and his suddenly amplified figure overawed the conferences that were to lead to independence.”
