The Quit India Resolution was officially passed by the All India Congress Committee (AICC) on August 8, 1942, at the Gowalia Tank Maidan in Bombay. This resolution marked the launch of the Quit India Movement, also known as the August Kranti, demanding an orderly British withdrawal from India.
The Quit India Resolution was officially passed by the All India Congress Committee (AICC) on August 8, 1942, at the Gowalia Tank Maidan in Bombay. This resolution marked the launch of the Quit India Movement, also known as the August Kranti, demanding an orderly British withdrawal from India.
The movement was the culmination of the failure of the Cripps Mission (1942), which intended to secure Indian cooperation for the British war effort in WWII.
The resolution was drafted by Jawaharlal Nehru and moved by Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel.
Mahatma Gandhi gave the famous 'Do or Die' (Karo ya Maro) speech at the Gowalia Tank Maidan.
The British government arrested most top Congress leaders, including Gandhi, in the early hours of August 9, 1942, under Operation Zero Hour.
The movement was a significant turning point as it was essentially a leaderless protest after the mass arrests of the Indian National Congress leadership.
Aruna Asaf Ali is famously remembered for hoisting the Indian flag at the Gowalia Tank Maidan during the movement.
September 1942 and September 1943 are incorrect as the movement began specifically in August 1942 following the AICC session.
A is correct — The Quit India Resolution was passed on August 8, 1942, during the Bombay session of the All India Congress Committee.
When studying the Quit India Movement, always link it chronologically with the Cripps Mission (March 1942) and the subsequent rise of the Indian National Army (INA) under Subhash Chandra Bose to understand the shifting nature of the struggle during WWII.
