The Story in Brief
Union Minister L. Murugan on Sunday paid tribute to those who took part in the Quit India Movement, calling their courage and sacrifice an eternal inspiration. In a social media post, the BJP leader recalled Mahatma Gandhi's clarion call of 'Quit India', which he said infused new strength into the freedom struggle and reflected the people's resolve to end colonial rule. August 9 marks the anniversary of the movement launched in 1942.
The Indian Opinion
Memorial days often tempt political parties to claim the freedom struggle as their own. The minister's words are unobjectionable, but the habit of reducing a mass movement to a single leader or party persists across the spectrum. The Quit India Movement was a broad, spontaneous uprising. The real test is whether its lessons, unity, civil disobedience, sacrifice, inform today's governance, not just one day's tweets.
