About Quit India Movement & Indian Independence (1940-1947)

By 1940, with the Second World War raging, Britain's own halting offers of reform, the August Offer and the Cripps Mission, both failed to satisfy Indian demands, pushing Gandhi toward his own most decisive campaign yet. This quiz starts with that background, and with the Quit India Movement itself: the "Do or Die" call, the mass arrests, and the parallel governments that briefly sprang up at Ballia, Tamluk, and Satara.

It then turns to Subhas Chandra Bose's own remarkable, separate path, his escape from India, the Indian National Army raised under Japanese sponsorship, the short-lived Azad Hind Government, the failed Imphal-Kohima campaign, the Red Fort trials that followed, and his own still-debated death.

The quiz closes with the final, rapid countdown to independence itself: the Wavell Plan and Cabinet Mission, the Interim Government, the Great Calcutta Killings of Direct Action Day, the Mountbatten Plan, the Radcliffe Line, and the midnight hour of 15 August 1947 itself, when India finally, in Nehru's own words, made its tryst with destiny.
