β Also called the RIN Mutiny.
π Causes of the Revolt
β Racial discrimination by British officers
β Poor food quality and low wages
β Harsh treatment of Indian sailors
β Influence of the Quit India Movement (1942) and INA trials
β Anger against racist officers like Arthur Frederick King at HMIS Talwar
π Major Leaders
β B. C. Dutt
β M. S. Khan
β Madan Singh
β Salil Shyam
β Rishi Dev Puri
π Organisation Formed
β Naval Central Strike Committee to coordinate actions and demands.
π Major Events

β Slogans raised: βQuit Indiaβ and βJai Hindβ.
π Rapid Spread
β Spread to 78 ships and 20 shore establishments.
β Covered Bombay, Karachi, Madras, Vishakhapatnam, Kolkata, and Andamans.
β Around 20,000 naval ratings participated.
π Popular Support
β Workers, students, and civilians joined protests.
β Visible Hindu-Muslim unity as Congress, Muslim League, and Communist flags were hoisted together.

π Brain Death Certification in India
π Why in News?
β The Supreme Court of India has sought expert opinion from AIIMS on the use of EEG and angiogram in brain death certification.
π What is Brain Stem Death?
β Brain death or brain stem death is an irreversible condition where all brain activities permanently stop.
β Automatic functions like breathing also cease completely.
β The body may still function temporarily with life-support systems.
π Major Causes
β Severe road accidents
β Falls and traumatic brain injuries
β Loss of oxygen supply to the brain
π Importance
β Crucial for organ donation such as heart, lungs, liver, kidneys, etc.
π Legal Framework in India
β Governed by the Transplantation of Human Organs and Tissues Act (THOTA), 1994.
β Certification process guided by NOTTO (National Organ and Tissue Transplant Organisation).
π Protocol for Brain Death Certification
π Medical Board
β A 4-member board certifies brain death:
β’ Hospital in-charge
β’ Neurologist/Neurosurgeon
β’ Treating physician
β’ Another registered medical practitioner
π Mandatory Checks
β Doctors must identify the exact cause.
β Reversible conditions like drug intoxication, hypothermia, or metabolic imbalance must be ruled out.
π Apnea Test
β Checks whether the patient can breathe independently.
β Considered subjective and often not properly videographed.
π Repetition Rule
β Brain death must be confirmed twice with a 12-hour interval.
π Role of EEG and Angiogram
π EEG (Electroencephalogram)
β Measures electrical activity in the brain using electrodes.
β In brain death, EEG shows absence of electrical activity.
π Angiogram
β Uses contrast dye and X-rays to check blood flow in the brain.
β In brain death, it shows complete stoppage of blood flow to the brain.
π Key Concerns
β Lack of proper training among doctors
β Inconsistent certification protocols
β Low awareness affecting organ donation rates
β Debate over reliability of apnea test alone
