Hind Swaraj
M.K. Gandhi
Written in ten days on a ship, as a dialogue rejecting not just British rule but railways, lawyers, doctors and industrial civilisation itself.
Why you should read this
Gandhi's early political tract, written as a dialogue, arguing that Indian self-rule requires rejecting the machinery and values of industrial civilization rather than simply replacing British rulers with Indian ones. Foundational to his later political thought and worth reading as a primary source rather than a summary of it.
