Name the writer of the book ‘Hind Swaraj’ and explain Gandhi’s ideology.

Mahatma Gandhi was the author of ‘Hind Swaraj.’ The book was published in 1919 and is also known as the ‘Indian Home Rule.’

1. In his book, he declared that the cooperation of Indians brought about the establishment of British rule in India. This is justified by the fact that Indians were, indeed, extremely naïve at one point in time, and trusted the east Indian company to do good for them.

2. The British rule had survived only because of this cooperation.

3. Without the cooperation of Indians, British rule in India would collapse within a year, and Swaraj would have come. This statement holds true as we see in the later events such as the Non-Cooperation and Quit India movement.

Gandhi’s ideology of establishing non-cooperation against the British rule paved the way for India’s independence in 1947.
