Situation in India

1 Jan 1946

COPY Extract from a letter dated 28th February, 1946 from G.H.Q., India. The Sitreps have given you the full story of the mutiny and it is yet early to say what the real causes were behind it. There is no doubt that, as always happens, the main complaints in which they suffered, or imagined they suffered, made the ratings fruitful ground for subversive approaches. There can also be little doubt that the mutiny owed much of its inspiration to the general atmosphere of indiscipline and lawlessness engendered by the Congress agitation in respect of the I.N.A.
