Question

Through various National Movements, Gandhiji mobilised public support to win freedom for India. In this context, state the following :
The name given to the uprising of 1942. Two reasons for launching this mass uprising.

Answer 1

Quit India Movement.
Reasons:

• Failure of the Cripps Mission: The Failure of the Cripps Mission left no meeting ground between the Congress and the government. It was clear from the proposals that the government was not willing to grant independence in the near future. The Indian were also not happy at the proposals of Cripps Mission because proposals contained within them provisions which could divide India into hundreds of independent provinces.
• The Communal situation was worsening day-by-day. The Muslim League was demanding a separate state i.e. Pakistan, because all the leaders of the League proclaimed that Muslims could not expect any justice at the hands of the Congress. This spoiled the communal situation.
