![]() Historians like Sumit Sarkar, Peter Cohen, Fay and others suggest that these events played a crucial role in hastening the end of British rule. The Bombay mutiny in the Royal Indian Navy and other mutinies in 1946 are thought to have been caused by the nationalist feelings that were caused by the INA trials. These trials became a galvanising point in the Indian Independence movement. The end of the war saw many of the troops repatriated to India where some faced trials for treason. Fay who have written about the army, however, consider the INA not to have had significant influence on the war.
