\nThe emergence of parallel governments in different parts of India was a significant feature of the Quit India Movement.
\n<\/section>\n
\nFollowing the arrest of major leaders, the Quit India Movement (1942) saw widespread decentralized action and the formation of parallel governments (Prati Sarkar) in areas like Ballia (UP), Tamluk (Midnapore, Bengal), Satara (Maharashtra), and Talcher (Orissa), which challenged British authority at the local level.
\n<\/section>\n
\nStatement A is incorrect; women played a crucial role (e.g., Aruna Asaf Ali, Usha Mehta). Statement B mentions Nasik, which was active, but not typically cited as one of the primary regional bases compared to places like Satara. Statement C mentions anti-zamindar violence; while some attacks on symbols of authority occurred, the movement was primarily anti-British and aimed at disrupting colonial administration rather than being fundamentally an agrarian revolt focused on zamindars. Parallel governments represent a more widespread and defining characteristic of the movement’s later phase.
