In 1942, the Quit India movement became the ultimate landmark in India's match towards freedom. The Quit India movement was primarily a campaign or a strategy to force the British government through discussion to execute the Independence of India.
During the Quit India Movement, mass agitation and violent actions took place in different parts of the country. These groups tried to control different towns, cities, and villages, while few of the factions were able to establish independent governments. These were the parallel governments.
Some of these governments were not able to survive for long but they had the abilities and skill to manage the state and government on their own.
