Question

Discuss the continued relevance of Hind Swaraj.

Answer 1

Hind Swaraj’ was originally written in Ganghiji’s mother tongue, and later translated into English by him and published serially in “ The Indian Opinion” in South Africa. During the last 100 years from the day of its first publication, so much has been spoken and written about the book and Gandhiji has written himself so much about his ideas, his values and the course of his spiritual growth and it is difficult to say something new about him. Sixty years after his death and a hundred years after he wrote his first seminal, though somewhat crudely written book, Hind-Swaraj, Gandhiji suddenly emerged as a possible answer to the global crisis of human values and numerous other unresolved contradictions, such as between affluence and poverty, freedom and repression, technology and man, terrorism and non-violence, corruption and honesty, social relation and alienation, etc.  It is a small booklet and a Main Script for the entire modern civilization.
