Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: A
Explanation

The correct answer is Option 1 (1, 2 and 3). The Quit India Movement (1942) marked a radical shift in the Indian national struggle, characterized by several unprecedented features:

  • Industrial Participation: Unlike previous movements, 1942 saw massive strikes in major industrial hubs. Workers in Ahmedabad, Bombay, and Jamshedpur downed tools for weeks, directly hitting the British war efforts.
  • Princely States: The movement transcended British India. Under the "Do or Die" call, the Praja Mandals became highly active, leading to large-scale mass mobilization in states like Mysore, Gwalior, and Patiala, demanding the integration of these states with the national cause.
  • Kisan Sabha Activities: The peasantry formed the backbone of the movement. In regions like Bihar and Eastern U.P., Kisan Sabhas and local peasant leaders organized militant actions, including the establishment of "parallel governments" and the destruction of colonial infrastructure.

Thus, all three features represent the expanded and intensified nature of the struggle in 1942.
