  • Ramrajya is not imaginary governance.
  • It is self-governance guided by Swadharma and Ahimsa.
  • Gandhi Ji campaigns against caste discrimination as part of individual self-betterment to achieve the goal of Ramrajya.
  • Swarajya and Ramrajya are for reducing individual dependence on the state.
  • Both Tagore in his essay( Society and state) and Gandhi Ji rejected the British welfare state model.
  • Gandhi feared state schemes may weaken the individual commitment to their duties and self-sustainable communities to their basic needs.
  • Communities schools made by communities is one type of Swarajya or Ramrajya.

Swadharma:

  • It is a moral commitment made by the individual to work.
