J= ■a c	Hind Swaraj — Indian Home Rule	I 5"
rtf CD	M. K. Gandhi	cn £
	First written in Gandhi's native language Gujarati, this booklet advocates for	i
	Indian non-violent self-rule during the struggle for Indian independence against	i
	the British Empire. It is written as a dialogue between two characters. In it, the	CL-
	"Reader" serves as a typical Indian countryman (the targeted audience for Hind	OU m
	Swaraj), who voices common beliefs and arguments of the time concerning Indian	3
	independence, while Gandhi, the "Editor," explains why those arguments are	I
	flawed and interjects his own valuable arguments of self-reliance, passive	w 3
3	resistance and the Indian identity.	o
Of <u E	The Gujarati-language publication was banned from publication by the British in	73 c_
India, causing Gandhi to translate it to English himself to evade the British	o
o	authorities, as well as rally support from English-speaking Indians and
-L. c	international supporters of independence. It is now considered the intellectual
"D	blueprint of India's independence movement.
