‘Gandhi’s views on ‘Swaraj’ model of polity are pertinent even today’. Comment.

Gandhi’s concept of Swaraj has remained one of the most significant contributions to political thought, particularly in the Indian context. His views on Swaraj were fundamentally grounded in his broader philosophy of non-violence (ahimsa), truth (satya), and self-reliance (swadeshi), which aimed at achieving not just political freedom, but social and economic empowerment. Gandhi’s ideas on Swaraj continue to hold relevance in modern political discourse, especially in the context of the state, society, and public administration.

Swaraj, for Gandhi, was not merely about political independence from colonial rule but was a deeper, more transformative concept that encompassed individual self-rule and the decentralization of power. Gandhi envisioned Swaraj as a system where power was exercised by the people at the grassroots level, in contrast to the centralized, top-down approach that characterized colonial and, to some extent, modern governance. The idea of Swaraj, as articulated by Gandhi, is pertinent even today in various dimensions of political and administrative thought.
