• Gandhiji, by the end of 1940s, began taking steps to lead a mass struggle within his broad strategic perspective. He decided to initiate a limited Satyagraha on an individual basis by few selected people from every locality. The demand of Satyagrahi would be freedom of speech to preach against participation in the war.

• Vinova Bhave was chosen to be first such Satyagrahi, followed by Jawaharlal Nehru.

• And if the Government did not arrest a Satyagrahi, he or she would not only repeat the performance, but move into villages and start a trek towards Delhi, thus participating in a movement called Delhi Chalo.
