Multiple choice questions on the Quit India Movement:all exams

 The Quit India Movement, also known as the August Movement, was a significant chapter in India's struggle for independence from British colonial rule. Launched on August 8, 1942, by the Indian National Congress under the leadership of Mahatma Gandhi, this movement called for an end to British rule in India and for immediate self-rule, or "Swaraj." The movement's clarion call, "Do or Die," became a rallying point for millions of Indians, emphasizing the urgency and the sacrifices required to achieve independence. Triggered by the failure of the Cripps Mission to secure full dominion status for India and exacerbated by the deteriorating socio-economic conditions due to World War II, the Quit India Movement saw widespread protests, strikes, and acts of civil disobedience across the country. In response, the British administration arrested many national leaders and adopted a strategy of brutal repression. Although the movement was eventually suppressed by the British, it played a pivotal role in hastening the end of British colonial rule in India.
