Question

During 1942 Movement parallel governments were formed in different parts of India.
A. True
B. False

Answer 1

Hint: The Quit India Movement was the call for ‘Poorna Swaraj’ by the people of India. They demanded complete sovereign control of India and an important way to prove that was through the demonstration of their capabilities to rule and govern themselves.

Complete answer: During the Quit India Movement, there were agitations all over the country to take over the rule of the British government, at least temporarily and at the local level to prove themselves capable of governing themselves.
A total of four major parallel governments arose at that time and were established in different parts of the country, These were in Ballia (Uttar Pradesh), Tamluk (Bengal), Satara (Maharashtra) and Talcher (Orissa).
The most prominent one out of these was Satara which could continue for three years. It also had a judicial branch to look into the public grievances, a youth militia to protect against the attacks of the British government and various committees to look into the day to day issues.
Thus, this is a true statement. So the correct option is (A).

Note: The resolution passed by the Congress Committee for the Quit India movement was a very important feat in the carrying of this vigour and emotion for self-rule of the Indians. Even so, while all the leaders were being arrested, such mass initiatives kept the movement alive and played a role in India’s independence.
