Question

During the Quit India Movement, parallel "National Governments" were established at many places.

Which of the following is NOT correctly matched?

1. A. Raiyati Sarkar – Kheda (Gujarat) (Correct answer)
2. B. Prati Sarkar – Satara (Maharashtra)
3. C. Praja Mandal – Talchar (Orissa)
4. D. Jatiy Sarkar – Tamluk (Bengal)

Correct Answer

Option A — Raiyati Sarkar – Kheda (Gujarat)

Detailed Solution & Explanation

The correct answer is Raiyati Sarkar – Kheda (Gujarat).

Key Points

• During the Quit India Movement (1942), people set up parallel 'National Governments' in several areas where British authority had broken down.
• The correctly matched ones are: Prati Sarkar – Satara (Maharashtra) (led by Nana Patil), National Government (Jatiya Sarkar) – Tamluk (Midnapore, Bengal), and a parallel government at Talcher (Odisha).
• 'Raiyati Sarkar – Kheda (Gujarat)' is the incorrectly matched pair, which is why it is the answer to this 'NOT correctly matched' question — Kheda is famous for the earlier Kheda Satyagraha, not for a 'Raiyati Sarkar' during Quit India.
• Hence the wrongly matched option is (A).

Additional Information

• Parallel governments (*Prati Sarkar*) of the Quit India Movement (1942): Ballia (Chittu Pandey), Tamluk in Midnapore (Jatiya Sarkar), Satara (Prati Sarkar, Nana Patil) and Talcher in Odisha.
• The movement began with Gandhi's "Do or Die" call at the Bombay session on 8 August 1942, after which the entire Congress leadership was arrested within hours.
• Leaderless, the movement turned spontaneous and largely underground, with Jayaprakash Narayan, Ram Manohar Lohia, Aruna Asaf Ali and Usha Mehta — who ran the secret Congress Radio — directing it.
