Aruna Asaf Ali is celebrated as the 'Heroine' of the 1942 Quit India Movement due to her pivotal role during that period.  On August 9, 1942, she hoisted the Indian National Congress flag at the Gowalia Tank Maidan (now August Kranti Maidan) in Mumbai, symbolizing the commencement of the Quit India Movement.  This act of defiance against British colonial rule marked her as a prominent leader in India's struggle for independence.  

Her courage and leadership during this movement earned her the title of 'Heroine of the Quit India Movement.'  She continued to inspire generations with her unwavering commitment to India's freedom.
