Indian Home Rule (1909) is a book by Mahatma Gandhi. Originally
written in Gujarati while the author was traveling from London to
South Africa, Indian Home Rule or Hind Swaraj is a groundbreaking
text that laid out some of Gandhi's core beliefs as an activist and
political thinker. Banned in 1910 by the British government in
India as a seditious text, Indian Home Rule remains essential to
Gandhi's legacy in his native country and around the world. "It is
my deliberate opinion that India is being ground down, not under
the English heel, but under that of modern civilization. It is
groaning under the monster's terrible weight. There is yet time to
escape it, but every day makes it more and more difficult." In
Indian Home Rule, styled as a conversation between a Reader and an
Editor, Gandhi makes his case for Indian independence or Swaraj,
explains his concept of Swadeshi (self-reliance), and argues that
the Indian people have it within their power to not only expel the
British, but to govern themselves while remaining true to their
cultural and religious traditions. Through his rejection of Western
civilization and advocacy for nonviolent resistance, Gandhi laid
the foundation for the vital work he would undertake upon returning
to India in 1915. With a beautifully designed cover and
professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of Mahatma Gandhi's
Indian Home Rule is a classic of Indian literature reimagined for
modern readers.
