It suggested dominion status for India but congress reject the offer. The negotiation between Cripps and the Indian leaders broke down and on 11 April 1942 the proposals were suddenly withdrawn.)the congress decided to take active steps to compel the British to quit India. o n 8 August 1942 the all India congress Committee
adopted a resolution of starting a mass movement on a large scale. Gandhiji inspired the people and gave a slogan. He said 'we shall either free India from the clutches of the British or we should die in this attempt'. This slogan became famous and came to be known as 'Do or Die'.
Gandhiji further said that we should not live to see the perpetuation(continuation) of our slavery . Congress demanded the immediate end of British rule. Riots broke out all over the country. People set fire to police stations railways stations and other public buildings. The government came down an iron hand to supress the revolt. Mahatma Gandhi was arrested and Congress was declared an illegal organisation.
