Though, the Congress had resigned from the government in the provinces, the very formation of these ministries had one positive impact on the people. The Congress ministries resignation, the deliverance day celebrations by the Muslim League, the Pakistan resolution, Subhas Chandra Bose escape and the formation of INA along with the half-hearted individual satyagrah by Gandhi were the major events that preceded the Quit India movement. Yet, not much attention has been devoted to the attitudes, mental framework and mobilization efforts of the local leadership at a time when all eyes were centred towards the Congress Working Committee meeting at Bombay. Certain studies have highlighted the popular response to the movement and how parallel governments were established and administered during the movement. Similarly, a lot of debate has taken place as to the role of different political parties and individuals during the movement.
Most of these researches highlight or hero worship the National level leadership – particularly Gandhi for giving the " Do or Die " slogan and for launching the struggle. A number of studies have dealt with this massive upsurge of Indian people. The mightiest challenge to the British authority in India during the twentieth century came in the form of Quit India movement – a movement comparable only to that of the struggle of 1857.
