Quit India Movement's Legacy

On 9th August, 2024, Prime Minister paid tribute to the Quit India Movement, marking it as a pivotal moment in India’s struggle for independence.

The Quit India Movement commenced on August 8, 1942, following Mahatma Gandhi’s call for the British to leave India and his rallying cry of "do or die."
In a message on X, PM praised the movement as a significant turning point in India's fight for freedom.
The movement saw Gandhi and other key Congress leaders arrested by the British authorities, yet it gained momentum and widespread support.
Despite the arrest of prominent leaders, the movement intensified the push for Indian independence and contributed to the British decision to leave India after World War II.
The Quit India Movement played a crucial role in mobilizing the Indian population against colonial rule and was instrumental in uniting various sections of society in the struggle for freedom.
The movement's legacy continues to inspire generations, emphasizing the importance of determination and collective action in achieving national goals.
