Question

What is state less society according to gandhi?

Answer 1

Swaraj can mean generally self-governance or “self-rule”, and was used synonymously with “home-rule” by Gandhi (Hindi: swa- “self”, raj “rule”) but the word usually refers to Gandhi’s concept for Indian independence from foreign domination.  Swaraj lays stress on governance not by a hierarchical government, but self governance through individuals and community building. The focus is on political decentralization. Since this is against the political and social systems followed by Britain, Gandhi’s concept of Swaraj laid stress on India discarding British political, economic, bureaucratic, legal, military, and educational institutions.

Answer 2

According to Gandhiji, a stateless society is the best place to live as there will be no competition, no violence, no power and no nothing. He thinks that such a society is the best place to live on earth where there will be no power and everyone will be equal and where there is no violence.

Gandhiji was a supporter of anarchism but still not a full supporter of anarchism or a stateless society.
