The Reader (specifically identified by the historian <a href="/wiki/S._R._Mehrotra" title="S. R. Mehrotra">S. R. Mehrotra</a> as Dr <a href="/wiki/Pranjivan_Mehta" title="Pranjivan Mehta">Pranjivan Mehta</a>) essentially serves as the typical Indian countryman whom Gandhi would have been addressing with <i>Hind Swaraj</i>. The Reader voices the common beliefs and arguments of the time concerning Indian Independence. Gandhi, The Editor, explains why those arguments are flawed and interject his own arguments. As 'The Editor' Gandhi puts it, "it is my duty patiently to try to remove your prejudice." </p><p>In the dialogue that follows, Gandhi outlines four themes that structure his arguments. </p> <ol><li>First, Gandhi argues that ‘Home Rule is Self Rule’. He argues that it is not enough for the British to leave only for Indians to adopt a British-styled society. As he puts it, some "want English rule without the Englishman ... that is to say, [they] would make India English. And when it becomes English, it will be called not Hindustan but Englishtan. This is not the Swaraj I want."</li> <li>Gandhi also argues that Indian independence is only possible through passive resistance. In fact, more than denouncing violence, Gandhi argues that it is counter-productive; instead, he believes, "The force of love and pity is infinitely greater than the force of arms. There is the harm in the exercise of brute force, never in that of pity." This is essential throughout <i>Hind Swaraj</i>.</li> <li>To exert passive resistance, Gandhi reasons that Swadeshi (self-reliance) be exercised by Indians, meaning the refusal of all trade and dealings with the British. He addresses the English when he states, "If you do not concede our demand, we shall be no longer your petitioners. You can govern us only so long as we remain the governed; we shall no longer have any dealings with you." Gandhi makes an intriguing argument here: if the British want India for trade, remove trade from the equation.</li> <li>Finally, Gandhi argues that India will never be free unless it rejects Western civilization itself. In the text he is deeply critical of western civilization, claiming, "India is being ground down, not under the English heel, but under that of modern civilization." He speaks about civilization not just in relation to India, though. He argues that "Western civilization is such that one has only to be patient and it will be self-destroyed." It is a profound repudiation. Not only is western civilization unhealthy for India, but western civilization is by its own virtue unhealthy.</li></ol> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Censorship">Censorship</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Hind_Swaraj_or_Indian_Home_Rule&action=edit&section=3" title="Edit section: Censorship"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>The Gujarati version of <i>Hind Swaraj</i> was banned by the <a href="/wiki/British_Raj" title="British Raj">British authorities</a>, on its publication in India.<sup id="cite_ref-5" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Reception">Reception</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Hind_Swaraj_or_Indian_Home_Rule&action=edit&section=4" title="Edit section: Reception"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>In September 1938, the philosophical magazine <i><a href="/wiki/The_Aryan_Path" title="The Aryan Path">The Aryan Path</a></i> published a symposium on <i>Hind Swaraj</i>.<sup id="cite_ref-ajp_6-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-ajp-6"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>6<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-7" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-7"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>7<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The contributors were several noted writers: <a href="/wiki/Frederick_Soddy" title="Frederick Soddy">Frederick Soddy</a>, <a href="/wiki/Claude_Houghton" title="Claude Houghton">Claude Houghton</a>, <a href="/wiki/G._D._H._Cole" title="G.
