With which one of the following movements is the slogan 'Do or die' associated?

The slogan “Do or Die” is inseparably associated with the Quit India Movement launched in August 1942. At the All-India Congress Committee session (Bombay, 8 August 1942), Gandhiji delivered the famed “Do or Die” call while endorsing the Quit India resolution that demanded immediate British withdrawal and a non‑violent mass struggle across the country [1]. At the Gowalia Tank meeting Gandhi proclaimed the mantra “do or die” and was arrested shortly thereafter, marking the start of a nationwide movement of civil disobedience and mass protest against colonial rule [2]. These sources directly link the phrase to the Quit India campaign of 1942 rather than earlier movements.
