What was the Quit India Movement and when was it launched?
Mahatma Gandhi and the National Movement
Original Khojo Papers practice question — not from a past board paper.
The movement called on Indians to surrender government titles and honours, and to boycott government schools, colleges, courts and legislatures. It urged the boycott of foreign goods and the use of swadeshi cloth, with the spinning wheel as its symbol. It was to be entirely non-violent, and it was withdrawn by Gandhi after the violence at Chauri Chaura.
No citable source has been recorded for this record. Treat it as practice material, not as fact.
The movement was launched in 1920 and withdrawn in February 1922.
