●  The Congress was in a confused state after the August Offer. The 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 non-violence was set as the centerpiece of Individual Satyagraha. This was done by carefully selecting the Satyagrahis.

●  The first Satyagrahi selected was Acharya Vinoba Bhave  (bhoodan movement), who was sent to Jail when he spoke against the war. He was followed nearly by 25,000 individual satyagrahis.

●  The second Satyagrahi was Jawahar Lal Nehru.

●  The third was Brahma Datt, one of the inmates of the Gandhi's Ashram.

●  Rajendra Prasad and C Rajagopalachari had a more Rightist orientation.
