August 8 is observed as Quit India Movement Day, commemorating the launch of the historic Quit India Movement in 1942. The movement began at the Bombay session of the All India Congress Committee (AICC) on August 8, 1942, where the Quit India Resolution was passed. Mahatma Gandhi gave the famous “Do or Die” call during the movement. The historic session was held at Gowalia Tank Maidan in Bombay, now known as August Kranti Maidan in Mumbai. The day commemorates the sacrifices of freedom fighters and the widespread participation of Indians in the struggle against British colonial rule.
