The historic Quit India Resolution, also known as the ‘Bharat Chhodo Andolan’, was passed by the All India Congress Committee (AICC) at its meeting in Bombay on August 8, 1942. The resolution called for an end to British rule in India. Following the adoption of the resolution, Mahatma Gandhi gave his famous ‘Do or Die’ speech. The leadership of the Congress was arrested the next day, triggering spontaneous mass protests across the country.
