What was the Quit India Movement and what were its objectives?

The Quit India Movement was a civil disobedience movement launched by Mahatma Gandhi on August 8, 1942, during the Indian independence struggle against British rule. Its main objective was to demand an immediate end to British colonial rule in India. The movement aimed to unite all Indians in a non-violent struggle for freedom and independence. It called for the British to "Quit India" and transfer power to the Indian people. The movement sought to mobilize the masses and create a nationwide uprising, urging people to engage in non-cooperation, strikes, and protests against the British government. Despite facing severe repression and arrests, the Quit India Movement played a significant role in galvanizing the Indian independence movement and ultimately led to India's independence in 1947.
