1942 - Quit India Movement
The Quit India Movement was a civil disobedience movement launched in India in August 1942 in response to Gandhi's call for immediate independence. The Partition of British India on the basis of religious demographics led to the creation, on 14 August 1947 and 15 August 1947, of the sovereign states of the Dominion of Pakistan and People's Republic of Bangladesh and the secular Union of India.
