TITLE: QUIT INDIA: A LEADERLESS MOVEMENT AND FACTORY OF POST-INDEPENDENCE LEADERS

ABSTRACT: Every great movement carries the insignia of a leader and any movement which is not headed by a strong-minded leader falls apart. The entire history of the Indian freedom struggle is filled with movements that are launched by different leaders in different parts of the land. There is a rarity of movements that lack leadership. The Quit India movement which was launched by Gandhi Ji in 1942 became leaderless on the next day of its launch. All the leaders were arrested but the movement continued. It was the only movement in the history of INC that wasn’t called off. There was a dearth of leadership but people heeded the clarion call of “Do or Die”.

KEYWORDS: incremental changes, spontaneous changes, visionary leaders, revolutions, movements, significance, Indian freedom struggle, leaders
