In July 1942, the Congress Working Committee met at Wardha. Here a long resolution was passed that demanded that the “ British Rule in India must end immediately". The Wardha Resolution is also known as “Quit India Resolution". This resolution was ratified in the All India Congress Committee at Bombay on August 7, 1942. Here a nonviolent mass struggle under the leadership of Gandhi was sanctioned in the “August Kranti Maidan".
