1942

 

 

The Second World War blazing across Europe and the Pacific, but Bombay had other concerns. At the Gowalia Tank maidan, the Congress led by Mahatma Gandhi launched the Quit India movement against the British. Taking a break from commerce and the business of making money, thousands of Bombay residents joined the movement and went to jail. But a famous Bombay resident Mohhamed Ali Jinnah refused to join, and the move to form a separate state of Pakistan was already gathering momentum.. Bombay and Karachi were destined to be strangers.
