What do you know about Swaraj? Summarise Gandhiji’s ideas about Swaraj.

Answer»

This is the Indian political concept regarding freedom. ‘Swa’ means self and ‘raj’ meaning rule. Swaraj is a combination of these two words. It means self-rule. However, Gandhiji’s concept of Swaraj had its own meaning. In his book ‘Hind Swaraj’ (1909), he has explained his concept of Swaraj. Gandhiji believed that swaraj means selfcontrol. It is only when we learn to rule ourselves there will be Swaraj. 

Swaraj is not mere freedom. It is the freedom to reclaim from institutions that destroy human virtues, a person’s selfesteem, his sense of responsibility and to ensure his fulfillment. Gandhiji believed that in the attainment of Swaraj a person’s individuality and its relations with the community and society play a crucial role.
