	Uma in high spirits, says Swaraj
		Senior Bharatiya Janata Party leader Sushma Swaraj said Saturday that former Madhya Pradesh chief minister Uma Bharti was "in very high spirits and determined to remain in jail as long as the state government wants her to be".
		Stressing that the case against Bharti was 'false', Swaraj said as the BJP started pursuing the campaign vehemently "the mind of Sonia worked and she told her law minister to dig out all cases against BJP and NDA leaders".
		On Karnataka Chief Minister N Dharam Singh's reported statement that the matter was now between court and Uma Bharti, Swaraj said it was not correct, noting that the district and sessions court had said that the government had the liberty to move the judical magistrate citing fresh grounds in dropping cases against Uma Bharti.

	Non-Violent Resistance and Social Transformation: Part II Swaraj and Sarvodaya (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Swaraj in its fullest sense is perfect freedom from all bondage and, for Gandhi, it could be equated with moksha or liberation.
		"Swaraj" Gandhi once wrote, "is the abandonment of the fear of death."1 Swaraj is vitally connected with the capacity for dispassionate self-assessment, ceaseless self-purification, continuous self- restraint, progressive self-realization, and growing swadeshi or self-reliance.
		Swaraj can be derived from satya (for self-rule is the expression of the intrinsic truth of the individual) and swadeshi can be derived from ahimsa (for complete non-violence requires full self-reliance).

	Swaraj of Gandhi 1 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Swaraj literally means self-rule, and during Gandhi’s time it was the aim of the freedom movement, synonymous with independence from the British rule.
		For he deftly dissected the term swaraj, showing its direct and pressing relevance to the individual, and hinting the irrelevance of the nation to which one projects the power of rulership or Raj.
		The reader of Hind Swaraj is assumed to understand that revolutionary actions on the part of individuals is necessary to achieve national independence, but this action is generally to be taken as part of a collective.

		Swaraj said there had been representations from telecom service industry seeking flexibility for restructuring of equity and amalgamation of telecom licensees.
		Swaraj said the operators had made representations that they can manage the operations in a more efficient manner if they were permitted to separate their cellular and basic operations under different entities of the same group.
		Swaraj clarified that all the terms and conditions of the licence including the complete roll-out obligation will apply to the transferee company irrespective of the time at which such transfer takes place and there will be no dilution with regard to the same.

	The Mind of Mahatma Gandhi (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		By Swaraj I mean the government of India by the consent of the people as ascertained by the largest number of the adult population, male or female, native-born or domiciled, who have contributed by manual labour to the service of the State and who have taken the trouble of having their names registered as voters.
		Swaraj is to be for all, including the former, but emphatically including the maimed, the blind, the starving, toiling millions.
		Swaraj is the abandonment of the fear of death.

		A total of 1,650 rounds were fired, killing 379 persons and wounding 1,137 in the episode, which dispelled wartime hopes and goodwill in a frenzy of postwar reaction.
		India's option for an entirely original path to obtaining swaraj (self-rule, sometimes translated as Home Rule or Independence) was due largely to Mohandas Gandhi, commonly known as "Mahatma" (or Great Soul.) A native of Gujarat who had been educated in Britain, he was an obscure and unsuccessful provincial lawyer.
		The Indian political spectrum was further broadened in the mid-1920s by the emergence of both moderate and militant parties, such as the Swaraj Party.

		Swaraj initiated the Cable Television Networks Amendment Act that enabled CAS before she quit the IandB ministry.
		Since the law enabling CAS was passed, representatives of the cable television industry, chiefly MSOs and operators, have been frequent visitors to the corridors of the IandB ministry that itself has seen a turnover of personnel.
		The ministry led by Prasad, the operators say, is against CAS and they trust Swaraj and her team that included then additional secretary Anil Baijal and joint secretary Rakesh Mohan to implement CAS.

	Swaraj - What is Swaraj?
		As Pinto explicates, "The principal theme of Hind Swaraj is the moral inadequacy of western civilization, especially its industrialism, as the model for free India." Gandhi was particularly critical of the deeply embedded principles of 'might is right' and 'survival of the fittest'.
		As Gandhi states, "It is swaraj when we learn to rule ourselves." The real goal of the freedom struggle was not only to secure political azadi (independence) from Britain, but rather to gain true swaraj (liberation and self-rule).
		Gandhi wanted all those who believed in swaraj: (1) to reject and wholly uproot the British raj (rule) from within themselves and their communities; and, (2) to regenerate new reference points, systems, and structures that enable individual and collective self-development.

	Swaraj in Education
		The new venture was envisioned as a ‘lab school’ alive with the ideas of making experiments with swaraj in education, developing aesthetic sensibility and cross-cultural understanding, evolving new perspectives and new methods in primary education, and making the school a self-organizing, self-supporting, non-commercial, non-governmental institution.
		Swaraj in education means "the self-rule in the management and administration of an educational institution".
		If the desire to establish swaraj is genuine the problem will have to be faced boldly, not replacing government rule by the rule of merchants.

		As you may know, the village (and villager) was at the centre of Gandhi's thought insofar as India's social and political organisation was concerned, at least, the type of social and political organisation that he wanted to see for India.
		As with all of Gandhi's ideas, Gram swaraj should be understood and viewed within the context of the twin beacons of Truth and nonviolence.
		However, put simply, the fundamental concept of Gram swaraj is that every village should be its own republic, "independent of its neighbours for its own vital wants and yet interdependent for many others in which dependence is necessary," according to Gandhi, writing in 1942.

		Swaraj has three choices in front of her: get the president to promulgate an ordinance, wait until the next session of parliament to table it in the upper house, or just trash her proposal right away.
		If she opts for the first, the chances are that the opposition may turn rabid and bite the ruling party politicians in the seat of their pants.
		Swaraj and the BJP should go ahead and seek a promulgation of an ordinance.

	AIDS policies need not be condom-centric: Swaraj (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		New Delhi, Nov. 30, (IANS): Indian Health Minister Sushma Swaraj, who had come under fire from HIV campaigners for her focus on sexual abstinence to combat the disease, Sunday reiterated that AIDS programmes did not need to be "condom-centric".
		Swaraj, who earlier also held the information and broadcasting portfolio, had taken off advertisements that promoted condoms as the principal device for preventing AIDS from state-run television networks earlier this year.
		At Sunday's interaction, Swaraj was flustered when a reporter asked her whether she had changed her attitude towards condoms.

	History, Indian Independence Movement, Revolutionaries (Extremists) versus Moderates, Tilak, Gokhale
		Even as loyalist pressures cast a long shadow on political currents that were to influence the Indian elite of the late nineteenth century, rapidly deteriorating economic conditions also led to a heightened degree of radicalization amongst the most advanced sections of the new Indian intelligentsia.
		Best remembered for his slogan "Swaraj is my birth-right ", he was one of the first to call for complete freedom from British rule, and fought a long and sometimes lonely political struggle against the forces of "moderation" that held sway over the Indian National Congress in the early part of the last century.
		"Swaraj" was reinterpreted to mean "self-rule" as a colony, and rather than fighting the colonial power, the Congress decided to cooperate with it in effecting "reforms".

		In London, the Swaraj nights are becoming more elaborate in that way, I can't think of any other club nights where you'll hear so much original music and see two or three live performances in one night.
		Like all the Swaraj crew his performances are quite theatrical and we all like to get behind the decks in each other's sets to jump about and have a laugh.
		This is Swaraj's second time in India now, when we started the night I always thought it would be great to play in India and it is something I have actively pursued since but back then these doors weren't open to us.

		Parliamentary affairs minister Sushma Swaraj said Article 252 (1) allows the Centre to draft a legislation for states if two or more state governments pass a resolution in their Assemblies for such a law.
		Ms Swaraj said the Centre cannot make the law on its own as it was not competent to draft such legislation.
		Ms Swaraj said though many states already have legislation against cow slaughter, it is not followed as in most laws there is no ban on killing old cows.

	Manas: History and Politics, Quit India
		Hind Swaraj appeared first in installments in the pages of Indian Opinion, a newspaper founded and edited by Gandhi, and in 1909 was published as a book, though it was proscribed at once by the Government of Bombay.
		Throughout, Gandhi remains clear that the replacement of white rulers by brown rulers would be of little consequence to the people if the new set of rulers governed by the same principles, with the same objectives, and with a similar commitment to principles of modern civilization.
		There seems even less reason today to view Hind Swaraj as a merely Luddite or romantic document: in its ecological wisdom alone, and in its profound sense that there must be limits to human consumption, wants, and addiction to technological solutions, it remains an enduring and endearing work.

		The dynamism seeking Tibetan youth and freedom fighters need to see their limitations and constraints (being many fold out-numbered by the Chinese) being offset by that which is not dependent on numbers for its strength and power.
		The ideal of Swaraj empowers (wielder of) non-violence in the manner similar to motherly love putting all the strength in the body of a frail looking woman.

		Agreeing that the power situation in the summer months was 'quite bad', Swaraj said this was because of higher demand and snags in the distribution system.

		Similarly, after swaraj was gained, people could gain the strength of resolve only if they had something big which they had to attain.

		And then, he explains as clearly as possible what it is to understand and live according to the teachings of swaraj, in case our understanding–more important than any text–may be guided or reminded by these explications and writings.

		One of the real jewels of this collection is Kapur's essay, "Gandhi and Hindutva: Two Conflicting Visions of Swaraj," which looks at two of the competing worldviews that emerged in response to the rule of the British Raj.
		I have used Hind Swaraj several times in the classroom and have found that a guided reading with students is a useful tool to encourage critical thinking on the nature of our own lives.
		Not that his positions need be taken in whole, but swaraj does provide many points from which to reconsider our current society and our own lives.
