Explain gandhi views on the state and swaraj
Answers
In Gandhi’s assessment, the state (Western type) was the symbol of violence in concentrated form. In order to ensure allegiance from the citizens the state (which means its authority) applies coercion or violent measures mercilessly.
Once he said “the individual has a soul but the state is a soulless machine, the stale can never be weaned away from violence to which it owes its existence”. In other words, Gandhi treated both state and violence or coercion synonymous. He further says that there is a state but not violence or coercion in any form cannot be imagined.
In Gandhi's assessment of swaraj he wanted everything used by Indians to be made in India and also didn't want people of India to use the articles brought from other countries as he wanted the people to pay money to India so that it could become richer than the other countries
