Hind Swaraj was written in 1909 during Gandhi&#8217;s voyage from London to South Africa. While he was active in the struggle against racial discrimination in South Africa and was contemplating India&#8217;s situation, the book was a foundational text outlining his philosophy and vision at an early stage of his political career, not the outcome of a prolonged struggle against Colonial Raj *in India* which was yet to gain full momentum under his leadership later.<\/section>\n<section id=\"pyq-key-points\">Hind Swaraj is a philosophical treatise on Swaraj and critique of Western modernity, written relatively early in Gandhi&#8217;s career.<\/section>\n<section id=\"pyq-additional-information\">Hind Swaraj was written in Gujarati and was later translated into English.
