Solution

The correct option is D Neither 1 nor 2

Explanation:

Statement 1 is incorrect: Individual Satyagraha was launched in response to the August Offer.

The main objectives were:

  • Convey the nationalist sentiment to the British.
  • Protest the war by an anti-war declaration and use freedom of speech against war.
  • If the government did not arrest the Satyagrahi, he or she would repeat it in villages and start marching towards Delhi (“Delhi Chalo Movement”).
  • The first Satyagrahi selected was Acharya Vinoba Bhave, who was sent to Jail when he spoke against the war.

Statement 2 is incorrect: Individual Satyagraha wasn't a mass movement and was eventually suspended by Gandhiji.
