Per NCERT, what does Mahatma Gandhi mean by 'Swaraj' in his work Hind Swaraj — beyond political independence?
AOnly the political expulsion of the British
BLiberty to act on every impulse without constraint
CSelf-rule + self-restraint — an ethical capacity to govern one's own desires, not merely freedom from British rule
DA purely economic doctrine of self-sufficiency without ethical content
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: C. Self-rule + self-restraint — an ethical capacity to govern one's own desires, not merely freedom from British rule
Gandhi's Swaraj in Hind Swaraj fuses political freedom with ethical self-mastery (per NCERT's framing). The other options miss the ethical dimension.
