About this Item

Paperback. Debating Swaraj studies Gandhijis notion of swaraj as a living concept, and extends it to various aspects of the political community. The book tries to understand political community by juxtaposing the state/government with the increasingly blurred distinction between peoples participation and decision-making on behalf of the people. Studying Gandhis view of swaraj as a living alternative for current times, Debating Swaraj offers a detailed interpretation in a manner that reclaims the centrality of the people in a nation-state. Gandhi believed that real swaraj is not majoritarianism; it is rule by the people for justice. Taking this as the point of departure, the authors, who hail from diverse fields in the social sciences and Gandhian Studies, construe swaraj as a shared responsibility for collective living.
