Question

The Quit India Resolution in 1942 was one of the final calls given by Gandhi for the British to leave India. Moving towards Independence, Lord Mountbatten's Plan was significant. In this context, answer the following:
State two reasons for the launching of the Quit India Movement.

Answer 1

The main reason behind the Quit India Movement was Gandhiji’s dislike of the return of Cripps pertaining to the British Government's Draft Declaration. Also, after the failure of the Satyagraha that was more individual-oriented, Gandhiji gave a call for ‘Do-or-die’. Also, the Congress leaders were demoralized. These all led to the outbreak of the Quit India movement.
