Module 09: Quit India Movement

The last major mass movement the Congress organized in August 1942 was known as the Quit India movement. Due to the large scale arrests of the Congress leaders at the initial stages of the movement, much of the initiatives were left with local leaders. The local organizations in some of the areas created revolutionary governments called Prati Sarkar or Jatiya Sarkar. The rebels of 1942 destroyed telegraph lines, snapped telephone connections and uprooted railway tracks. Yet the rebels of 1942 increasingly found it difficult to contain government repression with the result that from the turn of 1942, the intensity of the movement petered out.
