Question
In what way was the Quit India Movement different from earlier movements?
Solution
The Quit India Movement was directed at asking the British to leave the country. This movement, also known as August Revolution, not only took the freedom struggle to new heights but also brought the country to the doorstep of the ultimate goal of complete independence. It is also to be noted that while the Non-Cooperation and Civil Disobedience Movements were completely non-violent in nature, the Quit India Movement witnessed several instances of struggle associated with acts bordering on violence. It showed the impatience of the Indian people to attain independence from colonial yoke.
