On August 9, 1942, the Quit India Movement began, following a resolution passed on August 8, 1942, under Gandhi’s leadership during the Bombay session of the All India Congress Committee. Gandhi’s rallying cry, “Do or Die,” inspired widespread protests and rallies across India. The next day, British authorities arrested almost all Congress leaders and banned the party. Gandhi was imprisoned in Aga Khan Palace, Pune. Nationwide strikes and protests erupted, and the British government responded with severe measures, leading to increased violence.
