Swaraj is Gandhi's self-rule, the idea that governing yourself and governing a polity are tied together. I reread it as grounded agency.
How the word moved
The word shows up in my writing from October 2006, though I didn't do much with it back then. In October 2026 I finally asked what Swaraj means today. My answer was grounded agency.
In my words
"What does Swaraj mean today?"
