The Quit India Movement was a movement started by Mahatma Gandhi on 8 August 1942 during the World War II asking for an end to British rule in India. The movement was started in a speech in Bombay where Mahatma Gandhi asked Indians to Do or Die. The Congress launched a protest asking the British to withdraw from India, however the British imprisoned most of the Congress leadership within a day of the speech in a effort to suppress the movement. The British refused to grant independence until the war ended
