New Delhi, August 9: On the occasion of 75 years of Quit India Movement, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday appealed to people to pledge to create a ‘New India’ by 2022 free from problems like corruption, casteism, communalism.
In a series of tweets, Modi saluted all those who participated in August Kranti of 1942 with an aim of attaining freedom. The Bharat Chhodo Andolan or the August Kranti of 1942 was virtually a swan-song of British rule in India in the history of Independence Struggle. It was a civil disobedience movement launched at the Bombay session of the All India Congress Committee (AICC) by Mahatma Gandhi, during World War II, demanding an end to British rule in India.
“In 1942, the need of the hour was to free India from colonialism. Today, 75 years later the issues are different. Let us pledge to free India from poverty, dirt, corruption, terrorism, casteism, communalism and create a ‘New India’ of our dreams by 2022,” Modi tweeted.

In a speech entitled, “Do or Die (Karo ya Mro),” given on by Mahatma Gandhi, he urged people to act as an independent nation and not to follow the orders of the British. The movement was of great significance as it placed the demand for independence on the immediate agenda of the national movement.
