Gowalia Tank Maidan is a park in central Bombay where Mahatma Gandhi issued the Quit India movement on 8 August, 1942 decreeing that the British must leave India immediately or else mass agitations would take place. The call mobilised the citizens to a huge Civil Disobedience movement as the British refused to grant independence till the War was over.
