WORLD HISTORY

Detailed explanation-1: -The Quit India Movement, also known as the August Kranti Movement, was a movement launched at the Bombay session of the All India Congress Committee by Mahatma Gandhi on 8th August 1942, during World War II, demanding an end to British rule in India.

Detailed explanation-2: -Gandhi used Satyagraha which was based on the principle of non-violence and non-cooperation for his resistance against British and their legislations. The Civil-Disobedience movement and Dandi march are some of the main contributions of Gandhi.

Detailed explanation-3: -In a letter to Desai, Gandhi wrote: “A satyagrahi cannot support war directly or indirectly”, yet because he was not yet a perfect satyagrahi, he felt he had to help the British. The navy was used to protect supplies of food and other essentials, therefore he was implicated by living in Britain.

Detailed explanation-4: -In the early 1940s, Great Britain asked that talks on Indian independence be postponed until after the war. Gandhi refused and instead put forth the Quit India policy. He and other nationalist leaders were jailed, which quieted the movement for two years.

Detailed explanation-5: -The outcome of the movement was that Congress was declared an unlawful association and its offices all over the country were raided. The leaders were arrested and there rose a chaotic moment with this incident.
