The month of August
PM Modi then started to communicate the link between the month of August and the Quit India Movement. He quoted a series of revolutionary events which took place in the month of August. The non-cooperation movement which launched on August 1, 1920, followed by the Quit India Movement on August 9, 1942, and the final taste of Independence on August 15, 1947, makes August a crucial month for India.
