Lets learn some history today .."A part from the Great History of India"
It all starts from Gandhi at the time of World War II ,who need British to run away from India ..Date - Aug 8th 1942. Gandhi held a speech in Bombay where he asked Indians to Do or Die. Motivated by the speech, Indians united.
Quit INdia Movement also known as Bharat Chodo Andholan, launched @ Bombay session of All india National Congress Committee demanded a full stop to British rule in India.
The Quit India Movement, also known as the August Movement or Bharat Chodo Andolan, was a significant civil disobedience movement launched by Mahatma Gandhi and the Indian National Congress during World War II. It aimed to demand an end to British colonial rule in India. The movement was officially launched on August 8, 1942.
The Quit India Movement was a response to growing discontent with the British colonial administration's handling of the war and their failure to provide a clear path to Indian self-governance. Gandhi's call for the British to "Quit India" reflected the sentiment that India should no longer be under British rule.
The movement involved mass protests, strikes, and acts of civil disobedience across the country. However, the British colonial authorities responded with a heavy-handed approach, arresting key leaders of the Indian National Congress, including Gandhi. The movement faced repression, and its leaders were imprisoned.
Despite the suppression, the Quit India Movement had a significant impact on the Indian political landscape. It marked a turning point in the struggle for India's independence, as it demonstrated the Indian populace's unity and determination to achieve freedom. The movement also led to widespread unrest and strikes, putting pressure on the British administration.
Ultimately, the Quit India Movement contributed to the weakening of British authority in India and played a role in pushing forward the discussions about India's future after the war. India finally gained independence in 1947, following years of struggle and negotiations between Indian leaders and the British government.
