By whom the ‘Quit India’ resolution was moved in the Bombay Session of the Congress in the year 1942?

The correct answer is A) Jawaharlal Nehru. He moved the Quit India resolution at the AICC session at Gowalia Tank Maidan, Bombay, on 8 August 1942. Gandhi's 'Do or Die' speech at the same session is what made the moment famous, but the resolution itself was moved by Nehru.

• Narendra Deo was a prominent Congress Socialist leader and scholar, not the mover of the resolution.
• Rajendra Prasad was not Congress president in 1942. Maulana Abul Kalam Azad presided over the Congress that year.
• J.B. Kripalani was then AICC General Secretary. He did not move the resolution.

The core concept is the 1942 Quit India Movement and the shift from the Cripps Mission's failure to a mass civil disobedience call. For Mains, it fits under the freedom struggle's phases and the constitutional and political negotiations that followed.

Trap: aspirants often credit Gandhi with moving the resolution because of his speech, or pick the Congress president of the year. Check who moved the resolution, not who spoke most memorably.
