ABSTRACT
The reason for the continuance of the non-co-operation movement repeated again and again by Mahatma Gandhi is this-that Swaraj, or self-government, has become now an absolute necessity, if national reforms are to go forward. India can look after her own affairs much better than Great Britain can, because the British rule is foreign, and therefore extravagant; official, instead of human; and through lack of understanding very often oppressive.1
