What a top answer must contain

These are the checkable specifics from the marking standard for this question — the actual case, committee, datum or thinker, not an instruction to “give examples”.

  • Trigger chain: failure of Cripps Mission (April 1942), wartime shortages/price rise, fall of Burma and refugee influx, fear of Japanese invasion
  • AICC Bombay session 8 Aug 1942 — 'Do or Die'; overnight arrest of entire leadership
  • Results: underground phase (Usha Mehta's radio, Jayaprakash Narayan), parallel governments (Ballia, Tamluk's Jatiya Sarkar, Satara's Prati Sarkar)
  • British realisation that India was ungovernable without consent — the movement's strategic result despite suppression
  • Muslim League's simultaneous consolidation ('Divide and Quit') as a counter-result
