	History Quit India Movement - History Of Ancient, Medieval And Modern India.
		The Quit India Movement (Bharat Chhodo Andolan) was the final call, the definitive organized movement of civil disobedience for the immediate independence of India from British rule issued by Mahatma Gandhi on August 9, 1942 and made famous by his slogans Do or Die (Karenge Ya Marenge in Hindi) and No Violence (Ahimsa).
		On August 8, 1942 the Quit India resolution was passed at the Bombay session of the All India Congress Committee (AICC).
		Quit India graduates used the great discipline and spirit they imbibed to brave the tragedy and travails of the Partition of India, to draft a republican constitution, and to establish the strongest enduring tradition of democracy and freedom in post-colonial Africa and Asia, thus giving birth to the world's largest democracy.

	Quit India Movement was a failure: RSS chief
		Quoting second Sarsanghchalak Guru Golwalkar, RSS chief K C Sudarshan today claimed the Quit India Movement launched by Congress in 1942 was a "failure" and the country became free only when the British were faced with a prospective rebellion by Air Force and Navy in 1946.
		''Even Aruna Asaf Ali, one of the integral pillars of the 1942 movement in her musings on Quit India Movement acknowledged the role of an RSS office bearer from Delhi, Lala Hansraj, whose family provided her shelter during the time the police was searching for her,'' Mr Sudarshan claimed.
		Clement Attlee, the British Prime Minister at the time India became independent, during his 1956 visit to India, had conceded that it was not due to non-violent struggle of Congress, but the left over of Netaji's armed struggle which clinched freedom for India, Mr Sudarshan claimed.
