Indian Home Rule Summary
Indian Home Rule (also known as Hind Swaraj) is Mahatma Gandhi’s seminal work on self-governance and the soul of Indian independence. Presented as a dialogue between the 'Reader' and the 'Editor', it argues for passive resistance, ethical living, and indigenous development, rejecting Western materialism in favor of spiritual strength.
Indian Home Rule Excerpt
Short Summary: In a lucid Socratic style, Gandhi explores India’s true path to freedom—through self-discipline, village industry, and nonviolent resistance.
"Reader: Do you not think English civilization is a blessing?"
"Editor: It is not a civilization. It is a disease."
"But we are told it has brought roads, railways, courts, and education."
"These are not signs of progress but of complicity. What good are rails if they carry our goods to be taxed and our men to be enslaved? Real education must open the heart, not just the mind."
"We must be swaraj—self-ruled—not by voting in their parliament, but by mastering ourselves. Spin your own cloth, clean your own village, be your own master."
