Despite this, Gandhi went on protest 21-day fasts and maintained a superhuman resolve to continous resistance. How much is that? POV-warning, as I see it. -FredrikM
I am removing the NPOV tag in Contributions to India's Independence heading since no argument is made here in favour of why it is thought that it not NPOV. Referenced sources used for the factual depiction of erstwhile and present day conclusions of the movement's success or failure. Ranam 16:37, 9 September 2006 (UTC)
This article needs to be completely rewritten - otherwise, it's a poem for Indian nationalism. It's obvious that the British saw this campaign as an attempt to stab them in the back while fighting for national survival against the worse tyrannies in history. Idiotic pronouncements of Gandhi notwithstanding, it would be interesting to imagine the prospect of India under the "benevolent" rule of the Japanese. I wonder how successful civil disobedience would be then.
Will a knowledgeable person please provide sources for the following paragraph? Otherwise, it will have to be removed or substantially shortened.
The British swiftly responded by mass detentions. A total over 100,000 arrests were made nationwide, mass fines were levied, bombs were air-dropped and demonstrators were subjected to public flogging[citation needed]. Hundreds of resisters and innocent people were killed in police and army firings. Many national leaders went underground and continued their struggle by broadcasting messages over clandestine radio stations, distributing pamphlets, and establishing parallel governments. The British sense of crisis was strong enough that a battleship was specifically set aside to take Gandhi and the Congress leaders out of India, possibly to South Africa or Yemen, but such a step was ultimately not taken out of fear of intensifying the revolt[citation needed].

Many things about this seem shaky, especially the claim that 'innocent' people were killed in 'firings.' I would think that a better word should be substituted for 'firings.' Also, I would think that persons in the immediate area of a riot are not really innocent, they would have been trying to leave otherwise. Protestors, on the other hand, even if breaking an unjust law, are still not 'innocent.' TaylorSAllen 21:49, 8 February 2007 (UTC)
What's up with reference #7? It's supposed to be historians' views on why the movement failed, instead it's spam, or something. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Remus.suciu ( talk • contribs) 17:47, 10 November 2010 (UTC)
I was just reading through this article and it felt as if I were reading a piece of propaganda. It seems to portray the INA as if they were innocent children betrayed by the Japanese. Can someone more objective and less involved than myself please rewrite this with NPOV. sheep21 10:30, 15 January 2009 (UTC)
I am not going to go into the entire patriots and traitors argument here. You have admitted your edits are PoV, that'll do. FYI, edits should abide by WP:NPOV. rueben_lys ( talk · contribs) 12:12, 24 January 2009 (UTC)

What is this phrase supposed to mean? Could someone rework the concluding paragraph?

Agreed. That last para, besides not making much sense, seems NPOV. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.33.158.121 ( talk) 21:43, 24 January 2011 (UTC)

None of these statements written as fact have citations, British rule of India had never been described as 'tyranny' yet these articles are not challenged or if they are challenged someone comes along and removes the tag without addressing the most blatant NPOV statements. Until all the highly charged, negative statements as fact have citations the article should keep the tag. Twobells ( talk) 08:02, 10 June 2014 (UTC)

Did Gandhi really say he supported the UK during the Battle of Britain? ( 2A00:23C4:638A:5000:847A:1847:3221:E76E ( talk) 15:20, 21 June 2017 (UTC))
No sources quoted for section "Factors contributing to the movement's launch".. need in line citations and more references (
45.248.92.96 (
talk) 08:28, 29 January 2018 (UTC))
The claim in this "The Communist Party of India was banned at that time by the British government. In order to get the ban lifted, as well as to assist the Soviet Union in its war against Nazi Germany, it supported the British war effort, despite support for Quit India by many industrial workers. In response the British lifted the ban on the party.[15]
is not verifiable. there is no document of that particular book available in internet. Is it a mere claim to defame or stating facts of history ( 45.248.92.96 ( talk) 08:43, 29 January 2018 (UTC))
On 09 August, 1942 protest was made at historic place outside Katra Neel, Chandni Chowk, Delhi by Sh. Nanak Chand Mishra S/o. Sh. Hanuman Parshad Mishra alongwith his associates.
During the course of firing, Sh. Nanak Chand Mishra sustained "Bullet Injuries".
On 15 August, 1972, Hon'ble Prime Minister Smt. Indira Gandhi honoured Sh. Nanak Chand Mishra with "Tamrapatra" being Freedom Fighter. Mishra Ramesh ( talk) 05:55, 2 September 2018 (UTC)
In *Inglorious Empire*, Shashi Tharoor states that the separate treatment of white British and Indian troops during the retreat from Burma in August 1942 was a major factor in causing Gandhi to launch his Quit India movement that month. Yet there is no mention of that here. Should it not be added? Tharoor gives no more details so I would not be able to. LastDodo ( talk) 17:13, 15 April 2020 (UTC)
Looks like someone has stuck their own private youtube video as a Reference 5. This should be removed since it adds nothing informative to this page.
