The Quit India Movement was launched in response to the failure of the Cripps Proposals.
In March 1942, Sir Stafford Cripps was sent by the British government with proposals to secure India’s full cooperation and support in World War II. The Cripps Proposals offered Dominion Status after the war and permitted provinces to opt out of the proposed Indian Union, among other things. However, they did not offer immediate independence or a concrete plan for transfer of power acceptable to the Indian National Congress, which demanded a provisional government with real power. The failure of the Cripps Mission, combined with growing discontent over British rule and the impact of the war, led Mahatma Gandhi to call for the Quit India Movement in August 1942, demanding the immediate end of British rule in India.
The Quit India Movement was a significant turning point in the Indian independence struggle. It involved widespread civil disobedience and protests, though it faced severe repression by the British authorities.
