Answer the following question.
What is the significance of 8th August 1942, in the history of India’s struggle for freedom?

Answer 1

On 8th August 1942, the All India Congress Committee passed the Quit India Resolution. Mahatma Gandhi then launched the Quit India Movement in Bombay for freedom from British rule and persisted despite arrests and intense repression. Leaders, women, and students from all sections of society participated in the movement. This compelled the British officials to start a dialogue with the Indian parties for a possible transfer of power.
