Q 83 AcharyaVinobaBhave was the first Satyagrahi arrested during individual Satyagraha. Who was the second Satyagrahi?
The correct option is D d) Jawahar Nehru
83 Ans D
Explanation: Individual Satyagraha 1940-41:
Towards the end of 1940, the Congress once again asked Gandhi to take command. Gandhi now began taking steps which would lead to a mass struggle within his broad strategic perspective
After the August Offer, disappointed radicals and leftists wanted to launch a mass Civil Disobedience Movement, but here Gandhi insisted on Individual Satyagraha.
The Individual Satyagraha was not to seek independence but to affirm the right of speech. The other reason of this Satyagraha was that a mass movement may turn violent
The aims of launching individual satyagrahas were:(i) To show that nationalist patience was not due to weakness; (ii) to express people’s feeling that they were not interested in the war and that they made no distinction between Nazism and the double autocracy that ruled India; and (iii) to give another opportunity to the Government to accept Congress’ demands peacefully.
The non-violence was set as the centerpiece of Individual Satyagraha. This was done by carefully selecting the Satyagrahis.
The first Satyagrahi selected was AcharyaVinobaBhave, who was sent to Jail when he spoke against the war.
Second Satyagrahi was JawaharLal Nehru.
Third was Brahma Datt, one of the inmates of the Gandhi’s Ashram. They all were sent to jails for violating the Defense of India Act
