Question

what is the main objective of launching Quit India Movement

Answer 1

Purpose of Quit India Movement

Gandhi wanted to negotiate with the British government for the independence of India. Gandhi made a speech and within 24 hours the entire Congress was confined. This provoked Gandhi to launch the 1942 Quit India Movement. The main purpose of this civil disobedience movement of India was to face the British in the non-violent ways. It was during this time that Gandhi made a statement: "We shall either free India or die in the attempt; We shall not live to see the perpetuation of our slavery". However, the British government declared the Quit India Movement illegal and with this arrested the major leaders. This triggered a series of revolts and marked an important phase in the history of India.

Answer 2

Answer:

The main objective of the Quit India Movement was to drive the British away from India making India an independent country.

Explanation:

The Quit India movement was implemented by the All India Congress Committee led by the father of the nation, Mahatma Gandhi as a non-violent protest against the British. British had ruled upon us for over two centuries and have tortured and looted all they could. So, Gandhi including other eminent leaders took the do or die pledge and launched the movement on 8th August 1942 with the motive that the British would withdraw themselves from India.
