Answer:
The Quit India Movement (translated into several Indian languages as the Leave India Movement), also known as the August Movement, was a movement launched at the Bombay session of the All-India Congress Committee by Mahatma Gandhi on 9 August 1942, during World War II, demanding an end to British rule in India.
Answer:
Gandhiji launched the “Bharat Chhodo Andolan” or the Quit India Movement in August 1942. A demand was declared for an immediate end of British rule by the All India Congress Committee, which was passed as a resolution on 8th August 1942 in Bombay. Every one of this nation started dreaming of a free India inspired by Gandhiji’s slogan ‘Karo ya Maro’(‘Do or Die’). Congress decided to arrange a mass movement on the enormous scale possible on non-violent lines.
As a result, the British government took a hasty decision and banned the Congress, and most of their leaders were arrested before they could even start deploying the people. But still, the people were unstoppable; there were exhibitions and rebellion all over the country.The people attacked the railway station, police stations and law courts as they were the symbols of the British Government. People even started their independent government in some places such as Ballia, Tamluk, Dharwar, Satara, Talcher, Balasore. These places were freed from British rules. The movement was most widespread in Bengal, Bihar, Uttar Pradesh, Odisha, Bombay, Andhra Pradesh.
As a result the British responded with viciousness and the army was called to assist the police and lathi-charges, the firing was made to unarmed people. The rebels were arrested and tortured, and over sixty thousand people were jailed by the end of the year.
Jai Prakash Narayan, S M Joshi, Achyut Patwardhan and Smt Sucheta Kripalani were among the few leaders who were able escape from the arrest and went to hiding and tried to lead the mass movement. The people of the nation suffered very much during the Second World war also due to the terrible famine which took place in Bengal in AD 1943. More than thirty lakh people died due to the famine, and the Government did next to nothing about it. Quit India Movement was one of the renowned struggles of Indian History.
