  • Role of Women in the Quit India Movement Anil Chauhan
    P: ISSN NO.: 2394-0344 RNI No.UPBIL/2016/67980 VOL-4* ISSUE-1* (Part-1) April- 2019 E: ISSN NO.: 2455-0817 Remarking An Analisation Role of Women in The Quit India Movement Abstract The present work is an attempt to evaluate the role of women in the Quit India Movement 1942. Women, from time immemorial, have eagerly taken part in political, social and cultural affairs as and when they were required to do so. They as a force played a very crucial role in the India’s freedom struggle. The Quit India Movement of 1942, which was a spontaneous mass uprising witnessed the women at its fore front. During this movement, the women activists challenged the norms that obsessed an earlier generation of women leaders to fulfil their roles as the freedom fighters. Women during this movement boldly led processions, picketed liquor shops and fearlessly faced the British Raj’s repressions without fearing about their personal well-being.Thus,the brave Women of India created history by making their contribution in the efforts leading to the freedom of their mother land. Keywords: Evaluate Women, Quit India, Movement, Crucial, Freedom Struggle, Spontaneous, Mass Uprising Introduction Mahatma Gandhi once said "When the history of India's fight for independence comes to be written, the sacrifice made by the women of India will occupy the foremost place.". More than 77 years have passed since Quit India Movement was launched by Mahatma Gandhi on the 8th of August in 1942 at the All-India Congress Committee session in Bombay. On the very next day, Gandhiji, Jawaharlal Nehru and many other leaders of the Indian National Congress Anil Chauhan were arrested by the British Government.

  • Chauri – Chaura Incident (1922)
    Chauri – Chaura Incident (1922) CHAURI – CHAURA INCIDENT (1922) The Congress session held at Ahmedabad in December 1921, decided to launch a civil disobedience movement while reiterating its stand on the non-violent, non-cooperation movement of which Gandhi was the appointed leader. Before Gandhi could launch the civil disobedience movement, a mob at Chauri-Chaura led by Jawahar Yadav, near Gorakpur in the present day Uttar Pradesh, clashed with the police which opened fire. In retaliation, the mob burnt the police station and killed 22 policemen. This compelled Gandhi to call off the civil disobedience movement on 11 February 1922. Even so Gandhi was arrested and sentenced to 6 years imprisonment. The Chauri-Chaura incident convinced Gandhi that the nation was not yet ready for mass disobedience and he prevailed upon the Congress Working Committee in Bardoli on 12 February 1922, to call off the non-cooperation movement. Trade Unionism: Ideological Battleground Ideological differences in the labour movement began to appear within a few years after the birth of the All India Trade Union Congress (AITUC). The three distinct ideological groups in the trade union organization had entirely different views regarding the labour movement. These groups were; (i) Communists led by M. N. Roy and shripad Amrut Dange who wanted AIIUC to be affiliated to such --- international organizations as the League against imperialism and the Pan-Pacific Trade Union Secretariat. The party ideology was supreme to these leaders and they took the unions as instruments for furthering it. (ii) Moderates led by N. M. Joshi and V. V. Giri, who wanted affiliation with the British labour Organization (BLO) and the international Federation of Trade Unions based in Amsterdam.

My name is Usama Bin Shafqat and I will be your chair as we engage in a throwback to the events that continue to define lives for more than a billion people today. I am from Islamabad, Pakistan and will be a sophomore this year—tentatively majoring in Operations Research and Financial Engineering. Model UN has always been my IR indulgence in an otherwise scientific education as I culminated my high school career by serving as the Secretary-General for the largest conference in Islamabad—the Millennial Model UN 2013. I’ve continued Model UN here at Princeton by helping out with both PMUNC and PICSIM last year—in Operations and Crisis, respectively. Outside of Model UN, I’m a major foodie and love cricket. This will be a historical crisis committee where we chart our own path through a subcontinent where the British are fast losing grip over their largest colony. We shall convene in the 1920s as political parties within India begin engaging with the masses and stand up more forcefully against the British Empire. Our emphasis will be on the interplay between the major parties in the discussions—the British, the Indian National Congress and the Muslim League.

    Vol.1 No.4 April 2014 ISSN: 2321 – 788X WOMEN LEADERS OF QUIT INDIA MOVEMENT – WITH REFERENCE TO WOMEN IN MADRAS PRESIDENCY P. Vimala Assistant Professor of History, Madurai Meenakshi Government Arts College for Women (A) Madurai Abstract This paper profiles the participation of women, including student activists, who followed Mahatma Gandhi’s lead by participating in the Quit India Movement. The Quit India Movement was followed by the INA (Indian National Army) activities of Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose and the RIN (Royal Indian Navy) Mutiny which further weakened the foundation of the British Empire in India. Captain Lakshmi Sehgal of Madras was an associate and Commander of the INA’s Rani Jhansi regiment. During this period, women extended the discipline and sacrifice of their homes to the nation as a whole. Women in the early 1940s seem to have wanted to prove Gandhi right. Keywords: INA’s, Quit India, Bharat Chhodo, August Revolution, Presidency The Quit India Movement ‘Quit India’, ‘Bharat Chhodo’. This simple but powerful slogan launched the legendary struggle in response to Gandhi’s call for immediate independence, which also became famous by the name of the ‘August Revolution.’ It was a civil disobedience movement in which, the common people of the country demonstrated an unparallel heroism and militancy (Chandra, Bipan.1989). th Gandhi, in his Quit India speech on August 8 1942, called for a determined, but non-violent resistance.

  • Quit India Movement
    Quit India Movement drishtiias.com/printpdf/quit-india-movement-1 Why in News On 8th Aug 2020, India completed 78 years of Quit India Movement also known as August Kranti. Taking inspiration from the Quit India Movement, the Prime Minister gave a call for the revival of its spirit of the Quit India Movement by coining a new slogan karenge aur karake rahenge in place of Gandhi’s slogan of karo ya maro (Do or Die). The aim of this slogan is to achieve the goal of building a “New India” by 2022. Key Points About: On 8th August 1942, Mahatma Gandhi gave a clarion call to end the British rule and launched the Quit India Movement at the session of the All-India Congress Committee in Mumbai. Gandhiji gave the call “Do or Die” in his speech delivered at the Gowalia Tank Maidan, now popularly known as August Kranti Maidan. Aruna Asaf Ali popularly known as the 'Grand Old Lady' of the Independence Movement is known for hoisting the Indian flag at the Gowalia Tank Maidan in Mumbai during the Quit India Movement. The slogan ‘Quit India’ was coined by Yusuf Meherally, a socialist and trade unionist who also served as Mayor of Mumbai. Meherally had also coined the slogan “Simon Go Back”. 1/4 Causes: The immediate cause for the movement was the collapse of Cripps Mission. The British assumption of unconditional support from India to British in World War II was not taken well by the Indian National Congress. The anti-British sentiments and demand for full-independence had gained popularity among indian masses.

  • Gandhi and His Legacy: Violence/Nonviolence in the World & in Ourselves
    Religious Studies 119 • Winter 2012 • 4-5 units MW 9:30-10:45, 160-127 • F 9-10:50, Common Room, the Circle, Old Union Gandhi and his legacy: Violence/nonviolence in the world & in ourselves An experimental course combining academic study with experiential workshops Prof. Linda Hess, [email protected] Office hours: MW 2-3 & by appt 70-72D Genocidal violence against neighbors and friends; mass rape; torture; the brutalities of war. Are the people who do these things “normal”? Could we do such things? How could we prepare ourselves not to do these things? A student’s question in a Stanford class in 2010 gave rise to the inquiry that has produced this experimental course. How do we think-talk-learn about violence, nonviolence, ethics and compassion? Gandhi, the pioneer of nonviolent political struggle in the first half of the 20th century, becomes a central figure as we study violence more broadly—what it is, what it does to individuals and societies, how it can be addressed and transformed. We will pay special attention to the connections between violence on an individual/personal level and violence in the larger world. The course has an unusual format, exploring the boundaries between academic study and experiential learning. Though these approaches are usually separated, we undertake to examine the difficulties and possibilities of relating them. For our purposes, “academic” emphasizes analytical and critical examination of sources, and “experiential” emphasizes our personal experience, including body, mind, emotions, and creative imagination. On MW we have a regular academic class. On Fridays we have workshops that aim at developing self- knowledge and expanding our understanding of what we can do about violence in ourselves and in the world.
