CompletedPublished Updated

"Indian Home Rule" by Mahatma Gandhi is a book written in 1909. Presented as a dialogue between two characters, it expresses Gandhi's vision of Indian independence and self-rule. Gandhi argues that true freedom requires rejecting Western civilization itself, not simply replacing British rulers with Indian ones. He advocates for passive resistance and self-reliance as the path to independence. The British government banned the book in 1910, deeming it seditious.
