Quit India Movement was a massive anti-colonial struggle in India, launched on August 8, 1942, under the leadership of Mahatma Gandhi, who gave the mantra of "Do or Die" during this Movement. Projected initially as the civil disobedience movement, this 'third great wave' of India's struggle for freedom soon took a violent turn with the aim of 'fight to the finish' of the colonial empire. Gandhi, understanding the mood of the nation and the importance of individual liberties, was even prepared for riots and violence caused by the Quit India Movement as he thought it morally correct to defend against the state's organised violence.
