  1. The Quit India Movement (1942) differed in both scale and intensity:

    • Demanded complete independence, not reforms.
    • Involved students, peasants, and workers nationwide.
    • Saw strikes, hartals, and underground resistance.
      Despite arrests and repression, the movement shook British authority, showing India’s united resolve to end colonial rule and gain total freedom.
