  • On August 8, 1942, during World War II, Mahatma Gandhi began the August Kranti Campaign, also known as the Quit India Movement, calling for the end of British rule in India at the Bombay session of the All India Congress Committee.
  • Gandhi issued a call to Do or Die in his address to the Quit India campaign delivered in Bombay on August 8, 1942 at the Gowalia Tank Maidan, following the Cripps Mission's failure to win Indian support for the British war effort.
  • Gandhi asked for "An Orderly British Departure" from India, and the All India Congress Committee organised a massive demonstration to demand it.
  • Usha Mehta, an Indian liberation warrior and supporter of Gandhi lived from 25 March 1920 until 11 August 2000. In addition, she is credited with founding the Congress Radio, also known as the Secret Congress Radio, an underground radio station that operated for a short time in 1942 during the Quit India Movement. Hence, pair a is correctly matched.
  • Matangini Hazra was an Indian revolutionary who took part in the battle for Indian independence from 19 October 1870 until her death on September 29, 1942, when she was shot by British Indian police in front of the Tamluk Police Station (of the former Midnapore District).Hence, pair d is correctly matched.
  • Chittu Pandey called himself a Gandhian, formed a parallel government and captured all the ten police stations in Ballia, in east UP in August 1942.
  • K T Bhashyam was a Congress leader in Bangalore, played an active role in the trade union field and organised strikes by about 30,000 workers.
  • Therefore, pair b and c are in correctly matched.
