The Indian National Army (INA) and Lord Irwin were not part of the Royal Indian Navy (RIN) Mutiny. The INA, formed under Japanese patronage during WWII, was active in Southeast Asia. Lord Irwin was Viceroy of India much earlier (1926-1931). The RIN Mutiny occurred in February 1946. HMIS Talwar was the ship where the mutiny originated, and hunger strikes by naval ratings were the initial form of protest.

The RIN Mutiny of 1946 was a significant uprising by Indian naval ratings against British officers, demanding better food, living conditions, and release of INA prisoners, and protesting against racial discrimination. It spread to several ports across India.

The mutiny was suppressed with difficulty but demonstrated the growing nationalist sentiment and contributed to the urgency for British withdrawal from India. Political leaders like Sardar Patel and Maulana Azad played a role in negotiating the surrender of the mutineers.
