Question 3

The British put down the Quit India Movement with ruthless brutality and the movement, unlike its predecessor, was short-lived. Despite all this, the Quit India Movement made the British realise that their days are numbered in India. What was the reason for it?

Answer

Quit India Movement made the British realise that their days are numbered in India because of the following reasons:

  1. It demonstrated the depth of the nationalist feeling in India and the great capacity for struggle and sacrifice that the people had developed.
  2. It was the spontaneous participation of the masses. People from all parts of India took part in processions and demonstrations.
  3. It made it clear that the British would no longer find it possible to rule India against the wishes of its people.
