Quit India Movement Day 2023
GS Paper - 1 (History)

The Quit India Movement, also known as the August Movement or Bharat Chodo Andolan, was a significant civil disobedience movement launched by Mahatma Gandhi and the Indian National Congress on 8 August 1942. The movement aimed to demand an end to British colonial rule in India and achieve full independence. On this day, 8th August, in 1942, Gandhi gave the famous "Do or Die" speech, urging the Indian people to act decisively and nonviolently against British rule.

More about the movement

The Quit India Movement was launched during World War II, when the British government's involvement in the war had strained its resources and the Indian people's patience with continued colonial rule had grown thin.
The movement was led by Mahatma Gandhi and supported by the Indian National Congress, which was the principal political party advocating for Indian independence.
The primary goal of the Quit India Movement was to demand an immediate end to British rule in India and to establish an independent and sovereign nation.
On 8 August 1942, Mahatma Gandhi gave his famous "Do or Die" speech, urging the Indian people to engage in nonviolent civil disobedience and to be prepared to sacrifice their lives for the cause of independence.
The movement saw widespread protests, strikes, and acts of civil disobedience across the country. People participated in marches, demonstrations, and various forms of nonviolent resistance.
The British colonial government responded with a heavy hand, imposing severe repressive measures to suppress the movement. Thousands of protesters were arrested, and there were incidents of violence and clashes with the police.

Impact of this Movement

The Quit India Movement contributed to weakening the British colonial administration in India and increased international pressure on the British government to address India's demand for independence.
The movement marked a turning point in India's struggle for independence and played a significant role in accelerating the process of decolonization. It demonstrated the determination and unity of the Indian people in their quest for freedom.
The movement set the stage for further negotiations and discussions between the Indian National Congress and the British government after World War II, ultimately leading to India's independence in 1947.
