During the Quit India Movement parallel ‘National Government’ was established at many places. Which of the following is not correctly matched ?
Raiyati Sarkar – Kheda (Gujarat)
The wrongly matched pair is “Raiyati Sarkar – Kheda” — option 1. No parallel government of that name was set up at Kheda during the Quit India Movement.
| Parallel government | Place | Correct ? |
|---|---|---|
| Raiyati Sarkar | Kheda, Gujarat | Not correct — Kheda is famous for the satyagraha of 1918 over the revenue assessment, not for a 1942 parallel government |
| Prati Sarkar | Satara, Maharashtra | Correct — led by Nana Patil; the longest lasting, surviving until 1945 |
| Praja Mandal | Talcher, Orissa | Correct |
| Jatiya Sarkar | Tamluk, Midnapore, Bengal | Correct — ran from December 1942 to September 1944, with its own cyclone relief, arbitration courts and armed Vidyut Vahini |
The parallel governments of 1942. After the arrest of the entire Congress leadership on 9 August 1942, the movement passed into the hands of local activists, and in several places British authority collapsed altogether. Where it did, the people ran their own administrations :
| Place | Led by | Period |
|---|---|---|
| Ballia, Uttar Pradesh | Chittu Pandey | The earliest, though it lasted only a week |
| Tamluk, Bengal | Jatiya Sarkar | December 1942 to September 1944 |
| Satara, Maharashtra | Nana Patil | The longest, until 1945 |
Why they matter. They are cited as evidence that Quit India, though it lacked central direction after the arrests, produced a genuine assertion of popular self-government — running courts, collecting revenue, organising relief and even, at Tamluk, distributing grain during the Bengal famine of 1943.
The Kheda connection, correctly stated : the Kheda Satyagraha of 1918 was led by Gandhi with Sardar Patel and Indulal Yagnik, and secured a suspension of revenue collection in a year of crop failure. It belongs to a quite different moment.
Hence, the wrongly matched pair is Raiyati Sarkar – Kheda (Gujarat).
