Answer is Wrong!
The correct answer is: d) All of the above.
The Quit India Movement (1942) was a major turning point in the Indian independence movement. It was launched by Mahatma Gandhi on August 8, 1942, with the call to the British to “Quit India”. The movement had a significant impact on Meghalaya, particularly in the following ways:
- Disrupting communication lines: The movement led to the disruption of communication lines in Meghalaya. This was done by cutting telegraph wires and damaging railway tracks. The disruption of communication lines made it difficult for the British to maintain control over the region.
- Organizing labor strikes: The movement also led to the organization of labor strikes in Meghalaya. The strikes were called by the All India Trade Union Congress (AITUC) and the All India Kisan Sabha (AIKS). The strikes were successful in forcing the British to improve the working conditions of the workers.
- Underground activities: The movement also led to the growth of underground activities in Meghalaya. These activities were carried out by the Indian National Army (INA) and the All India Forward Bloc (AIFB). The underground activities were aimed at weakening the British rule in India.
