Quit India Movement Day 2023: Things you must know

IndiaTimes Tuesday, 8 August 2023
The Quit India Movement was a civil disobedience campaign launched on August 8, 1942, by Mahatma Gandhi and the Indian National Congress, demanding an end to British colonial rule in India. The "Do or Die" speech given by Gandhi on this day urged nonviolent civil disobedience against British rule. The movement saw protests, strikes, and acts of civil disobedience nationwide, but the British responded with severe repression, including the arrest of key leaders of the movement. Despite this, underground networks continued resistance activities, contributing to increasing international pressure on the British government that ultimately led to India's independence in 1947.
