Explanation

The statement "the immediate ending of British rule in India is an urgent necessity" is a core part of the Quit India Resolution. This resolution was passed by the All-India Congress Committee (AICC) at its historic session in Gowalia Tank, Bombay, on August 8, 1942.

  • Context: Following the failure of the Cripps Mission and the looming threat of Japanese invasion during World War II, the Congress leadership felt that only an independent India could effectively defend itself.
  • The Resolution: Drafted by Jawaharlal Nehru and supported by Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel, it demanded an immediate end to British rule and authorized Mahatma Gandhi to lead a non-violent mass struggle.
  • Significance: It was during this movement that Gandhi gave the famous slogan "Do or Die" (Karo ya Maro), marking the final phase of the Indian freedom struggle.
