The Quit India Movement was a civil disobedience campaign initiated in August 1942, urging for immediate Indian independence from British rule, led by Mahatma Gandhi. Despite the mass protests and calls for passive resistance, the movement lasted only three months and ultimately failed due to tactical organizational mistakes, loyalty of governmental services, and the physical strength of the British government. Historians attribute the movement's shortcomings to several key factors outlined by Dr. Amba Prasad.
