Explanation

The slogan mentioned in the question is associated with the Quit India Movement. On 8 August, 1942, the Quit India Resolution was passed after certain amendments. During this time, Gandhi’s statement was especially important: “I will not be satisfied with anything less than complete freedom. The British government may offer to abolish the salt tax, liquor-drinking, etc., but my words will be—nothing less than freedom. I give you a mantra—‘Do or Die’. The meaning of this mantra is that either we will free India, or we will die in the attempt to win freedom.”
