"Hind Swaraj or Indian Home Rule" is a book written by Mohandas K. Gandhi in
1909. In this book, Gandhi expresses his views on Swaraj (self-rule), modern
civilization, and mechanization. He criticizes European civilization while
expressing loyalty to higher ideals of empire. The book was banned by the
British government in India in 1910 as a seditious text. The book takes the
form of a dialogue between two characters, The Reader and The Editor, where
Gandhi refutes common arguments for Indian Independence and presents his own
arguments. Gandhi argues that Home Rule is Self Rule and that Indian
independence can only be achieved through passive resistance. He advocates for
Swadeshi, the refusal of all trade and dealings with the British, as a means
of exerting passive resistance. Gandhi also argues that India will never be
free unless it rejects Western civilization itself. The book received varied
responses from notable writers. The Gujarati version of the book was banned by
the British authorities upon its publication in India.
