Question

TodaySprint · Accepted Answer

The correct answer is Option B: 08 August 2026. Quit India Movement Day is observed on 8 August, commemorating the launch of the Quit India Movement in 1942. The Quit India Movement was launched in 1942 by the Indian National Congress and demanded the immediate end of British rule in India. The Quit India Resolution was passed on 8 August 1942 at the Bombay session of the All India Congress Committee held at Gowalia Tank Maidan. Mahatma Gandhi gave the famous “Do or Die” call during the Quit India Movement, emphasising the urgency of India's struggle for independence. Yusuf Meherally is associated with the phrase “Quit India”, while Aruna Asaf Ali became a prominent symbol of resistance by hoisting the national flag at Gowalia Tank Maidan. Usha Mehta operated the secret Congress Radio, while Ram Manohar Lohia, Jayaprakash Narayan and Achyut Patwardhan were associated with the underground resistance. The Cripps Mission's failure, India's involvement in World War II without consultation, wartime economic hardships and growing political dissatisfaction were major factors behind the movement. Mahatma Gandhi and other senior Congress leaders were arrested on 9 August 1942, after which the movement developed a more decentralised character involving students, workers, peasants, women and other sections of society.
