In 1920, during the period of the Non-Cooperation Movement, the All India Home Rule League, under the leadership of Mahatma Gandhi (who became its president in 1920), changed its name to ‘Swarajya Sabha’. This change reflected the shift in nationalist goals towards achieving Swaraj (self-rule) through non-cooperation.

The change of name symbolized the alignment of the Home Rule movement with the broader objectives of the Indian National Congress under Gandhi’s leadership.

The Hindu Mahasabha remained a separate organization focused on Hindu interests. The South Indian Liberal Federation, also known as the Justice Party, was a political party in Madras Presidency focused on representing non-Brahmin interests. The Servants of India Society was founded by Gopal Krishna Gokhale for social service and training public workers and did not change its name to Swarajya Sabha.
