The british ruled the country for about 200 years and on 15 august 1947, the country became independent from the british rule. For this, freedom fighters fought many wars. We get to read in many places that the first war of independence was fought in 1857, while in some places you find the mention of the first war of independence in 1817.
In 1817, the Paika rebellion took place against the british in present-day odisha and in 1857, Mangal Pandey blew the trumpet of independence against the british in the cantonment of Backerpur. We get to read and hear about when the first war of independence was fought, but most people do not know when the last war of independence was fought. Come, let us tell you when the last war of independence was fought.
When was the last war of independence fought?
According to a report by indianhistorycollective, the last war of independence was fought in 1946. This battle was fought by the Royal indian Navy, which did not get as much space in the struggle for freedom as it should have. This mass strike against the betrayal of the british officers started on 18 february 1946 and lasted till 23 february 1946. In this strike that lasted for a week, the city of mumbai stood completely with the officers, but indian politicians kept a distance from this movement and the result was that the strike was forcibly stopped. However, this last battle for independence was not given much space in the pages of history.
When did this battle begin?
According to the information available on the Internet, this battle started on 1 february 1946 itself, when rk Singh of the Royal indian Navy resigned. At that time there was a rule in the Royal indian Navy that you can be dismissed, removed from the army or you can retire, but you cannot resign. This step of rk Singh was unprecedented in itself, which laid the foundation of this entire movement.
