PM Modi remembers freedom fighters who participated in ‘Quit India Movement’

It begs the question as to whether it was really necessary to serve a Quit India notice, so to speak, to a student from Poland (Jadavpur University) and another from Bangladesh (Visva-Bharati).

In the summer of 1940, the Viceroy offered self-governing dominion status for India within a year after the end of the Second World War. Gandhiji rejected it as too little too late and wanted an unequivocal declaration of India's independence after the War. This was followed by his Quit India movement which culminated the process that began in 1929. But in all these years, the hope of independence was kept alive by celebrating 26 January as Independence Day. It was only appropriate that the Indian Constitution was promulgated on 26 January 1950, as independence without the spirit of Republicanism along with solidarity, dignity and equality would have been incomplete.
