01 The slogan Do or Die is associated with which movement?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: A. Quit India Movement
Explanation: The direct answer is A, the Quit India Movement. In August 1942, Mahatma Gandhi and the Indian National Congress launched the Quit India Movement against British rule. Gandhi gave the powerful call “Do or Die,” asking Indians to make a determined effort for freedom and not give up. Option A is correct because this slogan is directly linked with the 1942 movement. Option B, the Swadeshi Movement, mainly encouraged the use of Indian goods and the boycott of foreign goods, especially after the Bengal partition. Option C, the Indigo Revolt, was a nineteenth-century peasant protest against forced indigo cultivation and is not connected with Gandhi’s 1942 slogan. Option D, the Home Rule Movement, demanded self-government earlier, particularly through leaders such as Annie Besant and Bal Gangadhar Tilak; it did not produce this slogan. Remember: “Do or Die” equals Quit India, 1942.
