Which one of the following was a significant feature of the Quit India Movement ?

Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: D
Explanation

The Quit India Movement of 1942 was uniquely characterized by the emergence of parallel governments (Prati Sarkar) in various parts of India, which challenged British authority by establishing indigenous power structures [1]. Notable examples included Chittu Pande's government in Ballia (East UP), the Jatiya Sarkar in Tamluk (Midnapore), and the long-running Prati Sarkar in Satara, Maharashtra [1]. Contrary to other options, women played a vital role; leaders like Aruna Asaf Ali and Usha Mehta were instrumental in underground activities and the Congress Radio [1]. While Satara was a major base, Nasik is not specifically highlighted as the primary regional base in the same capacity. Furthermore, while the movement saw widespread participation, it was primarily a nationalist struggle for immediate independence rather than a movement defined by anti-zamindar violence, which was more characteristic of specific peasant uprisings.
