His wife Died

After his release, he dedicated all his time and attention to work for the reprieve of the earthquake victims in Bihar. But the rulers measured him too dangerous to remain free. He was arrested again in February 1934 and kept in imprisonment throughout the following year. In the meantime, his wife, Kamala, had fallen seriously ill. Jawaharlal was released in September 1934 to enable him to take her to Europe for treatment. But her health had been devastated and, five months later, this brave lady, who was Jawaharlal's companion in the country's battle for freedom, breathed her last in Lausanne, Switzerland.
As a Staunch Democrat

In 1938 came Jawaharlal's visit to Spain for the period of the Civil War. It was exhausting experience. He had watched with trepidation the rise of the Fascist powers in Europe and the terroristic measures they adopted to curb democracy. A staunch democrat he not accepted dictatorship in all its forms. He firmly believed that individual liberty and freedom of thought and action pride the base on which individuals and nations grow to their full tallness. Without them, life is meaningless. At the outburst of the Second World War, the Congress, on Jawaharlal's initiative, passed a declaration clarifying the stand to the Indian people. They maintained that, if Britain was fighting for democracy and a world order based upon it for democracy and liberty, she must end her occupation of India. During the individual Satyagraha campaign launched by Gandhiji to press home this demand Jawaharlal was arrested on October 31, 1940 and sentenced to four years' imprisonment. But he was released in December 1941 along with other leaders.

The Cripps Mission came to India to talk about and decide upon the legitimate changes in the country. Jawaharlal led the Congress team in the talks. The changes projected did promise some progress for the country. But the mission failed because of the inflexibility of the Muslim League and the policy of its pacification followed by the British. The failure of the Cripps Mission looked like an end of all anticipations of a peaceful transfer of power. The position was frantic and, at the AICC session in 1942 at Bombay. Jawaharlal moved the famous "Ouit India" resolution. He was arrested soon after and taken to Ahamadabad Fort to serve his longest ever incarceration. He was released in January 1945.
