The correct answer is Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru .
The ‘Individual Satyagraha’ was launched by the Indian National Congress under the leadership of Mahatma Gandhi in 1940, as a protest against the British government’s decision to involve India in the Second World War without consulting the Indian people.
Vinoba Bhave was the first person to undertake the Individual Satyagraha in October 1940, followed by Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru in December 1940. He was the second Satyagrahi to take up the cause. Nehru was arrested and imprisoned for his participation in the Satyagraha.
The ‘Individual Satyagraha’ was a symbolic protest as the Satyagrahis did not seek to overthrow the British government by force but rather aimed to uphold the principles of truth and non-violence. The Satyagrahis undertook a pledge to continue their non-violent struggle for freedom, despite the possibility of arrest and imprisonment.
