Ans: (d) Quit India Movement
The correct answer is (d) Quit India Movement.
Explanation:
The slogan “Do or Die” is associated with the Quit India Movement.
The Quit India Movement, also known as the August Movement, was a significant civil disobedience movement launched by Mahatma Gandhi on August 8, 1942, during World War II. The movement aimed to demand an immediate end to British colonial rule in India.
As part of the Quit India Movement, Mahatma Gandhi gave the clarion call of “Do or Die” to inspire the masses to fight for freedom with determination and unwavering commitment. The slogan symbolized the resolve and determination of the Indian people to achieve independence and was widely embraced as a rallying cry during the movement.
The Quit India Movement faced severe repression from the British authorities, leading to mass arrests, police brutality, and widespread protests across the country. Despite the challenges and the subsequent arrest of many national leaders, the movement ignited a spirit of nationalism and played a crucial role in India’s struggle for independence.
