This book is an attempt to comprehend and explain the concept of swaraj. The concept of swaraj has attracted attention in the Indian political thought. The Vedic word swaraj regained its position during the period of Indian freedom struggle which essentially enhanced the sense of nationalism implicitly and gradually explicitly. An attempt has been made in this book to evaluate the vedic origin of the concept and compare the views of different political thinkers regarding it. However, the book is mainly concerned with the analysis of the views of Tilak and Gandhi on swaraj.
