<P> Sporadic small - scale violence took place around the country and the British arrested tens of thousands of leaders, keeping them imprisoned until 1945 . In terms of immediate objectives, Quit India failed because of heavy - handed suppression, weak co-ordination and the lack of a clear - cut programme of action . However, the British government realized that India was ungovernable in the long run due to the cost of World War II, and the question for postwar became how to exit gracefully and peacefully . </P> <P> In 1992 Reserve Bank of India issued a 1 rupee commemorative coin to mark the Golden Jubilee of the Quit India Movement . </P> <P> In 1939, Indian nationalists were angry that British Governor - General of India, Lord Linlithgow, had brought India into the war without consultation with them . The Muslim League supported the war, but Congress was divided . </P> <P> At the outbreak of war, the Congress Party had passed a resolution during the Wardha meeting of the working - committee in September 1939, conditionally supporting the fight against fascism, but were rebuffed when they asked for independence in return . Gandhi had not supported this initiative, as he could not reconcile an endorsement for war (he was a committed believer in non-violent resistance, used in the Indian Independence Movement and proposed even against Adolf Hitler, Benito Mussolini, and Hideki Tojo). However, at the height of the Battle of Britain, Gandhi had stated his support for the fight against racism and of the British war effort, stating he did not seek to raise an independent India from the ashes of Britain . However, opinions remained divided . The long - term British policy of limiting investment in India and using the country as a market and source of revenue had left the Indian Army relatively weak and poorly armed and trained and forced the British to become net contributors to India's budget, while taxes were sharply increased and the general level of prices of doubled: although many Indian businesses benefitted from increased war production, in general business "felt rebuffed by the government" and in particular the refusal of the British Raj to give Indians a greater role in organising and mobilising the economy for war time production . </P>
