	TheTransitioner.org : Swadeshi
		According to the principle of swadeshi, whatever is made or produced in the village must be used first and foremost by the members of the village.
		In swadeshi, the machine would be subordinated to the worker; it would not be allowed to become the master, dictating the pace of human activity.
		Swadeshi for Gandhi was a sacred principle - as sacred for him as the principle of truth and nonviolence.

	:::Welcome to Swadeshi:::
		Swadeshi has its own manufacturing units in Cannanore, Kerala, and beginning with the procurement of the yarn, the entire process of dyeing, warping, weaving, finishing and packing - even the stiching of the made-ups is contained in the group.
		Almost all Swadeshi's fabrics are pre-washed, reducing shrinkage to a minimum of 2 to 5%.
		This unit has a work force of 45 workers and smaller items like cushion covers are finished at a rate of thousand pieces a day and items such as ready curtains at the rate of 200 pieces a day.

		Swadeshi is the spirit of regeneration, a method of creative reconstruction in periods of dependency and colonization.
		Swadeshi for Gandhi was a positive concept based on building what a community has in terms of resources, skills, institutions and transforming them, where they were inadequate.
		Swadeshi or self-organisation in economic affairs is the basis of economic freedom, and without economic freedom, there can be no political freedom, or self-governance and self-rule.

	Swadeshi Economics
		Swadeshi would have every village in India become an almost self-supporting and self-contained unit, trading only for commodities that are necessary and not locally producible.
		Because these groups had power Swadeshi was disregarded and a model of rapid industrialization was adopted, to the detriment of the majority of the population of India.
		All information on Swadeshi is taken from excerpts of Gandhi's writings that are published by the Institute of Advanced Studies on their website .

	The Mind of Mahatma Gandhi
		SWADESHI is that spirit in us which restricts us to the use and service of our immediate surroundings to the exclusion of the more remote.
		Swadeshi, as defined here, is a religious discipline to be undergone in utter disregard of the physical discomfort it may cause to individuals.
		In my opinion, therefore, Swadeshi which excludes the use of everything foreign, no matter how beneficial it may be, and irrespective of the fact that it impoverishes nobody, is a narrow interpretation of Swadeshi.

		Swadeshi movement as economic battle was necessary adjunct to Swaraj the political battle for freedom.
		Swadeshi to me means a set of policies that are good for the economic development of the country, not for some sections of Indians, be it labour or capital.
		It reads that the government would continue with the reform process, give it a strong Swadeshi thrust to ensure that the national economy grows on the principle that "India should be built by Indians." However, once in government, the BJP is discovering that the colours of Swadeshi are not fast.

	Globalisation versus Swadeshi (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		With Swadeshi mindset, the RSS had natural expectations from Vajpayee Government to pursue the economic agenda formulated by the BJP, while it was in opposition.
		The Swadeshi lobby in the RSS is of the view that so long the developed countries are not honest to pursue the ethics of global economic integration, the possibility of India becoming a buoyant economic power may remain a day-dream.
		In fact he is to remove the alleged confusion between the BJP’s concept of Swadeshi as explained in the 1998 election manifesto of the party, when it was in opposition and its new definition suggested as Prime Minister in his just published interview in BJP TODAY.

	:: G A N D H I :: Biography, Ideology, Resources
		Gandhi was a champion of swadeshi, which he believed was essential to Satyagraha and swaraj.
		Thus, a return to swadeshi was "the key to the economic salvation of India." [5] The "cleanest and most popular form" of swadeshi consisted of "introducing the spinning wheel in every household and every household spinning its own yarn." [5] Thus Gandhi devised the swadeshi vow:
		Swadeshi was an integral part of Gandhi's overall vision for an independent India - one in which self-sufficient, self-governing village republics were the foundation of the country.

	.::. .::. INDIAN SCIENTIFIC HERITAGE >> SWADESHI SCIENCE MOVEMENT .::. .::.
		The Swadeshi Science Movement is essentially a Science Movement with the motto "Science and Technology for Social Harmony", with 100 per cent Swadeshi spirit in all its aspects of national renaissance and reconstruction.
		What we need is not really the Western forms and approaches to modern science and technology and an economic theory based on such an approach, but a wholly new approach to an appropriate form of science and technology and an economic theory evolved out of that approach.
		The Swadeshi Science Movement would therefore strive for the development of all Indian languages as effective vehicles of scientific knowledge, and popularize science and technology through Indian languages at all levels of education and research.

	davistudio: Modern Table Art: Techno Swadeshi
		I talked about Swadeshi in an earlier post, the Gandian economic model he implemented to get the British colonists out of India.
		Swadeshi, in the purest sense, is a local movement, becoming self sustaining through the development of a local economy, and local production of goods needed to survive.
		Swadeshi in its purest form means "of your own country" as opposed to "foreign".

	BJP:Policy on Major issues:"Economic reforms, Swadeshi & foreign investments"-Prof. Diwan
		Swadeshi imposes two conditions on FDI: (i) it must increase the production potential in new technology goods and the market share of its exports, and (ii) the profits, particularly the repatriated profits, must be a proportion of increases in productivity and export earnings.
		Thus, within the narrow sphere of foreign investments, there is a major difference between the government's economic reforms and the alternative policy of swadeshi.
		Economic reforms impose conditions on the economy and society requiring it to do everything for the benefit of foreign investment while swadeshi imposes conditions on the relevance and efficacy of the foreign investment for the benefit of the country..One can no doubt question if FDI will be available under these conditions.

	The Swadeshi Movement
		The concept of Swadeshi as explained by Gandhi, the author of this entire non-violent struggle, is employment of unemployed or semi-employed people by encouraging village industries.
		The use of machinery is, of course, welcome with caution and proper planning so that it can be useful to the masses rather than helping a few who can monopolise the industry.
		The aim of 'swadeshi' as such, is a call to the consumer to be aware of the violence he is causing by supporting those industries that result in poverty, harm to workers and to humans and other creatures."

		That is the reason, he had claimed, that the BJP had admitted good Catholics rather than corrupt Hindus from the splinter groups of the Congress, which ultimately led to the BJP withdrawing from the erstwhile ruling coalition and forming its own government.
		Though he partly agrees with Parrikar's interpretation of a swadeshi church, Hemant Bakhle, the local RSS general secretary, said the concept of a swadeshi church was mooted by RSS chief K S Sudershan with the intention of initiating a nation-wide debate on the issue.

		There are three special areas in which self-reliance or swadeshi is called for, if only because these are the areas for which the government is held or must be held ultimately accountable.
		Unless there is a long-term plan for the development of the drug industry on the basis of self-reliance, that is, a swadeshi plan for the drug industry, we shall have nothing to fall back upon in times of crisis, when pressures from multinationals will mount and cheap medicines will disappear from the shelves.
