Gandhi made the famous statement 'Sedition has become my religion' during the launch of the Quit India Movement in 1942.
This powerful declaration was made in the context of the Quit India Resolution passed by the All India Congress Committee on August 8, 1942. Gandhi was responding to British accusations of sedition against the Indian independence movement and was asserting that if fighting for freedom and independence of one's country was sedition, then he was proud to embrace it as his religion.
The statement reflected Gandhi's complete commitment to the cause of Indian independence and his willingness to face all consequences, including charges of sedition, for the freedom struggle. This was during one of the most intense phases of the independence movement when Gandhi called for an immediate end to British rule in India.
