3. J.P. called for a “Total Revolution” (Sampoorna Kranti) that would be calm and not violent.
4. He wanted changes to be made to the economy, politics, and education. He told kids not to go to class and told everyone to join large protests. His leadership gave the movement credibility, unity, and a lot of support.
