2. Jawahar Lal Nehru was the first to offer Satyagraha followed by Acharya Vinoba Bhave.
Which of the above statements is/are correct?
Both 1 and 2
Incorrect AnswerNone the above
Correct AnswerExplanation:
First statement is incorrect. 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.
Second statement is incorrect. The first Satyagrahi selected was Acharya Vinoba Bhave, who was sent to Jail when he spoke against the war. Second Satyagrahi was Jawahar Lal Nehru. Third was Brahma Datt, one of the inmates of the Gandhi's Ashram.
