Description
Written by Mahatma Gandhi in 1909 during a voyage from London to South Africa, Hind Swaraj (Indian Home Rule) is one of Gandhi's most foundational works, structured as a dialogue between an Editor and a Reader. In it, Gandhi lays out his critique of British colonial rule and modern industrial civilization, while articulating his philosophy of Swaraj — self-rule rooted not just in political independence but in moral and spiritual discipline — and his commitment to nonviolent resistance. Banned by British authorities in 1910 as a seditious text, it remains a cornerstone of Gandhian thought and the Indian independence movement, now available in Urdu translation.
