The correct answer is Option 2- Quit India Movement The slogan "Do or Die" was given by Mahatma Gandhi during the Quit India Movement. The Quit India Movement, also known as the Bharat Chhodo Andolan, was a civil disobedience movement launched in August 1942 in British India. It was initiated by the Indian National Congress (INC) under the leadership of Gandhi, in response to the outbreak of World War II in Europe and the failure of the Cripps Mission to reach an agreement with the INC on Indian self-government. On August 8, 1942, Gandhi delivered a speech at the Gowalia Tank Maidan in Bombay, where he gave the call for "Do or Die". He urged the people of India to rise up against the British and demand complete independence. The movement was met with a swift and brutal crackdown by the British, who arrested Gandhi and other INC leaders. However, the movement continued to spread across India, and it was eventually successful in forcing the British to begin negotiations for Indian independence. |
