Question

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 1

 

The Quit India Movement made the British understand that their rule in India was coming to an end for the following reasons:

1. It showed the strong nationalist feelings in India and the people's great ability to struggle and sacrifice for freedom.
2. There was spontaneous participation from people all over India, who joined processions and demonstrations.
3. It became clear that the British could no longer rule India against the wishes of the people.
