"Ours is not a drive for power, but purely a non-violent fight for India's independence.”
The Quit India Movement (translated into several Indian languages as the Leave India Movement), also known as the August Movement, was a movement launched at the Bombay session of the All India Congress Committee by Mahatma Gandhi on 8 August 1942, during World War II, demanding an end to British rule in India. The slogan of the Quit India Movement was "Karo Ya Maro", which means "Do or Die" when translated from Gujarati. Students of Presidium participated with great enthusiasm and marked the day by discussing the causes and effects of the Quit India Movement, making posters, and speaking slogans/poems. They remembered Mahatma Gandhi and our visionary National leaders who were instrumental in this mass movement.
