WORLD WAR SECOND ITS EFFECT ON INDIA. During the Second World War (1939–1945), India was a part of the British Empire , with the British holding territories in India that included over six hundred autonomous Princely States . British India officially declared war on Nazi Germany in September 1939 . [1].

Indians fought with distinction throughout the world, including in the European theatre against Germany , North African Campaign against fascist Italy , and in the southeast Asian theatre ; while also defending the Indian subcontinent against the Japanese forces, including British Burma and the Crown colony of Ceylon ..

AUGUST MOVEMENT. The Quit India Movement , also known as the August Movement , was a movement launched at the Bombay session of the All India Congress Committee by Mahatma Gandhi on 8th August 1942, during World War II , demanding an end to British rule in India . After the failure of the Cripps Mission to secure Indian support for the British war effort, Gandhi made a call to Do or Die in his Quit India speech delivered in Bombay on 8 August 1942 at the Gowalia Tank Maidan . [1] The All India Congress Committee launched a mass protest demanding what Gandhi called "An Orderly British Withdrawal" from India. Even though it was at war, the British were prepared to act. Almost the entire leadership of the Indian National Congress was imprisoned without trial within hours of Gandhi's speech. Most spent the rest of the war in prison and out of contact with the masses. The British had the support of the Viceroy's Council (which had a majority of Indians), of the All India Muslim League , the Hindu Mahasabha , the princely states, the Indian Imperial Police , the British Indian Army , and the Indian Civil Service . Many Indian businessmen profiting from heavy wartime spending did not support the Quit India Movement. Many students paid more attention to Subhas Chandra Bose , who was in exile and supporting the Axis Powers . The only outside support came from the Americans, as President Franklin D. Roosevelt pressured Prime Minister Winston Churchill to give in to some of the Indian demands. The Quit India campaign was effectively crushed. [2] The British refused to grant immediate independence, saying it could happen only after the war had ended..
