Question

Sh. Bal Gangadhar Tilak said, “Swaraj is my birth right and I shall have it.” According to me, Swaraj means in 1000 words

Answer 1

According to me, Swaraj means self-dependent not in terms of being physical independent but the thoughts of the individual should be free and independent. The Swaraj of my-our-dream recognizes no race or religious distinctions. Not is it to be the monopoly of the lettered persons or yet of moneyed men. Swaraj is to be for all, including the former, but emphatically including the maimed, the blind, the starving, toiling millions. Real Swaraj must be felt by all-man, woman and child. My Swaraj is to keep intact the genius of our civilization. If Swaraj was not meant to civilize us, and to purify and stabilize our civilization, it would be nothing worth.
