“…Gandhi argues that, rather than trying to give the RIN mutiny a particular normative framework, we must see it as something with its own trajectory. In this, I am in broad agreement with her (Davies 2013a). Going through the material in the National Archives of India in Delhi in 2010, which primarily consists of the official Commission of Inquiry's report from shortly after the mutiny, it becomes clear how difficult it is to assign a particular 'script' to the extremely heterogeneous accounts of the mutiny that the sailors gave to create what David Featherstone (2003) called 'maps of grievance', the ways in which actors make sense of the solidarities and antagonisms that flow through political networks.…”

“…Whilst such arguments are important, these extreme read ings tend to obscure the subtlety and nuances in how the spaces of the RIN, both before and during the Mutiny, acted to make the men who served within the Navy active political subjects (Davies 2013). What is clear is that the RIN Mutiny is an important, yet relatively underexplored event in the history of the decolonisation of India, but crucially allows an understanding of the complex geographies of discipline and resistance that are at work within military organisations, and in this case, these political subjectivities are shaped by the importance of the sea.…”
