Hind Swaraj or Indian Home Rule is a book written by Mohandas K. Gandhi while traveling from London to South Africa.

Banned by the then government under the pretext of being seditious, hind swaraj is written in the form of a dialogue between Gandhi and his close friend, pranjivan Mehta as they argue about beliefs based on civilization, conditions of India and England, passive resistance, and education. Hind swaraj played a vital role in boosting the morale of fellow Indians and helped articulate confidence that India would achieve independence by refusing to be enslaved by Western civilization.

"Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi (2 October 1869 - 30 January 1948) was an Indian lawyer, anti-colonial nationalist, and political ethicist, who employed nonviolent resistance to lead the successful campaign for India's independence from British rule, and in turn inspired movements for civil rights and freedom across the world. The honorific Mahatma, first applied to him in 1914 in South Africa, is now used throughout the world. Born and raised in a Hindu family in coastal Gujarat, western India, Gandhi trained in law at the Inner Temple, London, and was called to the bar at age 22 in June 1891. He moved to South Africa in 1893, to represent an Indian merchant in a lawsuit. In 1915, aged 45, he returned to India. In 1921, Gandhi led nationwide campaigns for easing poverty, expanding women's rights, building religious and ethnic amity, ending untouchability, and above all for achieving Swaraj or self-rule.
