<P> The Quit India speech is a speech made by Mahatma Gandhi on 8 August 1942 , on the eve of the Quit India movement . He called for determined , but passive resistance that signified the certitude that Gandhi foresaw for the movement , best described by his call to Do or Die . His speech was issued at the Gowalia Tank Maidan park in Bombay ( now Mumbai ) , since renamed August Kranti Maidan ( August Revolution Ground ) . However , almost the entire Congress leadership , and not merely at the national level , was put into confinement less than twenty - four hours after Gandhi 's speech , and the greater number of the Congress leaders were to spend the rest of the war in jail . Gandhi made this speech to help India gain Independence . </P>
