"Hind Swaraj or Indian Home Rule" is a book written by Mohandas K. Gandhi in 1909. In this book, Gandhi expresses his views on Swaraj (self-rule), modern civilization, and mechanization. He criticizes European civilization while expressing loyalty to higher ideals of empire. The book was banned by the British government in India in 1910 as a seditious text. The book takes the form of a dialogue between two characters, The Reader and The Editor, where Gandhi refutes common arguments for Indian Independence and presents his own arguments. Gandhi argues that Home Rule is Self Rule and that Indian independence can only be achieved through passive resistance. He advocates for Swadeshi, the refusal of all trade and dealings with the British, as a means of exerting passive resistance. Gandhi also argues that India will never be free unless it rejects Western civilization itself. The book received varied responses from notable writers. The Gujarati version of the book was banned by the British authorities upon its publication in India.
