We put Motwane on one side and Chicago Radio on the other side." He hired a photographer who travelled with him to the meetings with a film and movie cameras, taking pictures and recording priceless footage of meetings, featuring luminaries such as Gandhi, Nehru, Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel and the charismatic Subhas Chandra Bose.

The party would cover our expenses and would give us around 6,000 rupees a meeting," says Kiran Motwane. Motwane told the police that he was not a member of the Congress. No evidence was found, and he was freed. He collected the photographs and and newspaper clippings featuring the public meetings in huge albums. He would record the speeches on spool tapes and hand over a copy to the party. "He was in jail for a month and tortured," says Kiran Motwane.

Nanik Motwane was picked up for allegedly helping the station with equipment and technical assistance. For the next two decades, Chicago Radio became synonymous with the loudspeakers that relayed India's struggle for freedom from imperial rule to the masses.
