Tamluk — a parallel government

Dec 1942–44 — In Midnapore district, Quit India rebels run a full parallel administration — courts, relief, a women’s militia — for nearly two years, through cyclone and famine, until Gandhi himself asks them to stand down.
This is one scene of Chapter 9 — Quit India — and the Famine in Indian Independence & Partition, 1905–1948.
