‘Do or Die’ (Karenge ya Marange) — Gandhiji gave this Mantra to the nation on the eve of which mass movement?

1. Rowlatt Satyagraha
2. Salt Satyagraha
3. Quit India Movement
4. Non-Cooperation Movement

Correct Option: C

The Quit India Movement or the August Movement (August Kranti) was a civil disobedience movement launched in India in August 1942 in response to Mohandas Gandhi’s call for immediate independence. The All-India Congress Committee proclaimed a mass protest demanding what Gandhi called “an orderly British withdrawal” from India. The call for determined, but passive resistance appears in his call to Do or Die, issued on 8 August at the Gowalia Tank Maidan in Bombay.
