Abstract
This chapter describes the approach of the Second World War; the offer of forming an Indian constitution; the Cripps proposals; the plan to end British rule in India through a ‘Quit India Resolution’, the 1942 Revolt; Subhas Chandra Bose and the Indian National Army; and the Wavell Plan and the Simla Conference. As the Indian people grew conscious of their nationhood, India began to take its place in the comity of nations. After the failure of the Cripps mission, Gandhiji’s attitude towards the British underwent a fundamental change. The All-India Congress Committee endorsed the ‘Quit India Resolution’ on 8 August 1942. It authorized ‘the starting of a mass struggle on non-violent lines on the widest possible scale’.
