Explanation

For Gandhiji, 'Swaraj' meant comprehensive freedom for the meanest and lowest person in India - not just political independence from British rule. His concept extended to social, economic, and moral self-rule for every individual. While 'Self Government' and 'Complete Independence' are related concepts, Gandhi's unique interpretation emphasized liberation for the most marginalized (the 'meanest of the countrymen').
