Explanation: powerful, slogan of the Indian National Movement was "Quit India", or "Bharat Chhoro"-the call and command that Mahatma Gandhi gave to the British rulers of India 77 years ago. For the masses of this country, his exhortation was: "Karo ya maro", "Do or die" Their response to the Mahatma's call scripted a glorious chapter in India's Freedom Struggle, unparalleled in its heroism, sacrifice, and commitment in the face of the most savage and ruthless repression ever unleashed by the British colonial state on the Indian people. The Quit India Movement started on August 9,1942, and set in motion a chain of events over the following five years, which finally ended with the British leaving India.
