On 8th August, 1942, the Quit India Resolution was adopted by the AICC.
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.
The expansion of the Viceroy’s Executive Council occurred earlier in the context of the August Offer (1940). The resignation of Congress ministries in seven provinces took place in October/November 1939 after the Viceroy declared India a belligerent in World War II without consulting Indian leaders. The Cripps Mission, which proposed Dominion Status, visited India in March 1942, several months before the Quit India Movement was launched.
