Question

Why did the Quit India Movement fail?

• A. The people lacked coordination.
• B. The Indians lost interest.
• C. The INC had already declared freedom.
• D. Indians had no specific agenda.

Answer 1

Answer: (A), (D)

The correct options are
A The people lacked coordination.
D Indians had no specific agenda.

The movement lacked coordination. There was no guidance from the Congress leaders, as the most prominent ones had been jailed and the organisation itself was declared illegal. Thus, there was no proper leadership. The Quit India did not have a specific programme of action. Therefore, it ultimately failed.
