📘 Quit India Movement (1942) & Post-War National Scenario | Indian National Movement
This video discusses one of the most decisive phases of the Indian freedom struggle—the Quit India Movement of 1942—and analyses the political developments in India after the Second World War. It explains the background to the movement, including the failure of constitutional negotiations and growing popular discontent during wartime conditions.
The lecture examines the launch of the Quit India Movement, its mass character, spontaneous uprisings, role of students, workers, peasants, and women, and the nature of British repression. It also evaluates the significance and limitations of the movement in weakening colonial authority.
The second part of the video focuses on the post-war national scenario, including changes in British policy, rise of popular militancy, naval mutiny, labour unrest, and the growing inevitability of independence. This phase is crucial for understanding how colonial rule lost its legitimacy and how India moved rapidly towards freedom.
