ABSTRACT
This chapter encounters Gandhiji's ideas on social, economic and political structuring first time combined in the pamphlet he wrote in 1909, titled Hind Swaraj. The constitution of Aundh had followed Gandhiji's philosophy in accepting the village as the basic unit. The geographical coverage of the solitary experiment was not large, but it aimed to assure efficacy of a constitution inspired by Gandhian philosophy. Agrawal's exposition examined Gandhian thought in light of theories of Western philosophers and showed its efficacy in contemporary period. Agrawal has noted an example of an open jail established in Moscow in Soviet Union. Gandhiji's concept of open jail had been put into practice by the king of Aundh. A constitution bill prepared in Aundh on the lines indicated by Gandhiji, gave every citizen, subject to regard to public morality and nonviolence, right to life, freedom of expression, equality before law, right to free basic education and right to employment.
