Though written a hundred years ago, Hind Swaraj continues to be relevant even today and is a primer for those seeking to understand the concept and true meaning of freedom. It was in this book that Gandhi for the first time formally expounded and explained his concept of Swaraj and the means that should be employed for its attainment. Answers to questions such as "what is freedom?" and "how to achieve it?" provide an insight into the workings of the mind of the man who ultimately went on to become Mahatama.
