Gandhi’s thoughts on the concept of liberty and equality

Gandhi rejects the notion of unbridled individualism and stresses on the notion of the individual as a social self. Within this framework he analyses freedom as not being left alone or to abdicate moral obligation towards others who are equally entitled to freedom for themselves. A free person can choose to enter into any association with others but cannot simply cut off from others. This is true of nations also. Gandhi’s equation of freedom with self-rule is to underline the intrinsic link between freedom and obligation to others and to oneself, without abandoning the voluntary basis of freedom. Self-rule means voluntary internalization of one’s obligations towards others and that a free person and a nation cannot be selfish and isolationist.

Gandhi emphasises on the voluntary nature of freedom as a human being by nature is an autonomous moral agent having the capacity for choices and freedom to experiment. The individual that Gandhi has in mind is the social self and like Green, he too argues that it is the freedom which the individual enjoys that makes possible for the survival and the continuance of society. Gandhi writes, “Individual freedom alone can make a man voluntarily surrender himself completely to the service of society. If it is wrested from him, he becomes an automaton and society is ruined. No society can possibly be built on a denial of individual freedom. It is contrary to the very nature of man.
