Question
Which of the following was NOT stressed by Mahatma Gandhi while eXhorting the people to join the Quit India Movement?
Options
Forget the differences between the Hindus and Muslims and think of yourselves· as Indians only.
Our quarrel is not with the British people; we fight their imperialism, and we must purge ourselves of hatred.
Feel from today that you are a free man and not dependent. Do or die. Either free India or die in the attempt.
Freedom of India is an end that will purify all means employed to achieve it.
Solution
Freedom of India is an end that will purify all means employed to achieve it.
Explanation:
Mahatma Gandhi believed in the principle of non-violence (ahimsa) and always stressed that the means to achieve freedom must be pure and ethical. He did not support the idea that the end justifies the means. Therefore, option (d) does not align with his philosophy. In contrast, he emphasised unity, non-violence, and self-confidence in the Quit India Movement.
