Question

which event was the main reason for the announcement of quit India movement what was the result of the movement​

Answer 1

Answer:

The Quit India Movement also known as India August Movement or Bharat Chodo Andolan was launched at the Bombay session of the All India Congress Committee (AICC) by Mahatma Gandhi on August 8, 1942. The protest was initiated to demand an end to the British rule in India.

Answer 2

The failure of the Cripps Mission was the main reason for the announcement of the Quit India movement.

While the British brutally crushed the movement, the movement resulted in the realization that India cannot be ruled without support from Indians.

• During world war 2, resentment against the British increased due to war difficulties like a surge in prices.
• Indian National Congress demanded an immediate end of British rule in return for Indian's support in WW 2.
• British sent Stafford Cripps to negotiate with the Indian leaders.
• Indian National Congress rejected the proposal since it did not fulfill their demand for independence and announced the Quit India Movement.
• Though the movement was crushed by the British, it made complete independence the main motto of freedom struggle.
