Overview

Hind Swaraj is one of the most significant works of Mahatma Gandhi, which he penned during his return from England to South Africa in November 1909. Banned by the oppressive British Empire in 1910, this book is a clarion call for Indians to realize the criticality of unshackling from the bondage of imperialism. It encouraged Indians to take pride in its all-encompassing cultural and civilizational heritage. Making Satyagraha a vantage point to understand Gandhi’s life philosophy and works, this volume champions the ideas of non-violent resistance, freedom and interdependence for Swaraj. How can a state, its government, institutions and citizens create an ideal ecosystem of mutual relationships based on trust, non-violence and respect for growth and development?
