The Quit India Movement was started by MahatmaGandhi on 8 August 1942 at the Bombay session of All India Congress Committee during World War II which led to a mass civil disobedience movement called 'Do or Die' to force the Britishers to leave India. The movement led by Mahatma Gandhi was followed, by large-scale violence directed at telegraph offices, railway stations, government buildings, and other emblems and institutions of colonial rule.

This movement led to acts of vandalism and sabotage for which the government held Gandhi responsible for the acts of violence, suggesting that they were a deliberate act of Congress policy. All the prominent leaders were arrested and the Congress was banned. The army and police were brought out to suppress the movement. Netizens took to the social media platform, Twitter to remember and honour this day by lauding and praising the freedom fighters behind this movement.
Remembering the historic moment, when on this day, 77 years ago, #MahatmaGandhi gave the clarion call of ‘Do or Die’ to launch the Quit India Movement. Salutes to all freedom fighters, whose sacrifices got us freedom!
