(d) इंग्रज सरकारने विनोबांना सहा वर्षाची शिक्षा दिली.

वरीलपैकी कोणती विधाने बरोबर आहेत ?

The correct answer is Option C ((b) and (c)).

Key Points:
• August Offer (1940) & Individual Satyagraha:
• Statement (a) is FALSE: The Congress outright rejected Viceroy Linlithgow's August Offer as it only offered Dominion status in an indefinite future and granted minorities a veto.
• Statement (b) is TRUE: To affirm the right to free speech against British war efforts without disrupting law and order, Mahatma Gandhi launched the Individual Satyagraha in October 1940.
• Statement (c) is TRUE: Acharya Vinoba Bhave was chosen as the 1st Individual Satyagrahi (who broke the anti-free speech rules at Paunar on Oct 17, 1940), followed by Jawaharlal Nehru as the 2nd.
• Statement (d) is FALSE: Vinoba Bhave was sentenced to 3 months of simple imprisonment, not 6 years.
• Therefore, only (b) and (c) are correct.
• Key Takeaway: Congress rejected the August Offer; Gandhi initiated Individual Satyagraha with Vinoba Bhave as the first satyagrahi.
