Hind Swaraj
Okay, 3 out of 5 stars from my side.
This Book from Mohandas Gandhi, written in question answer format mainly focuses on how Indians can get Freedom by Non-Violence.
                 In order to prove his point of Non- Violence he gave many arguments and examples, which the more I got into the book I found myself disagreeing with most of them. Perhaps because it's a century old work and written in order to influence people of that time or simply because of Gandhi's thoughts.
I also agree that Non-Violence and all was okay, but till when? At some point there must be a limit to your patience.
Book talks about
How congress formed, what was their contribution against home rule and what exactly is Home Rule as of Gandhi.
How effective the Partition of Bengal was, and how it gave birth to the differences between Moderates and Extremists.
What is true Swaraj by Gandhi ( he wants them gone with their advancements, language and culture)
What is the current condition of Parliament of England and how it affects India
What is true Civilization ( he only counts the way humanity gets more brutal as with time, ignoring the ways in human are advancing)
Why and how india lost (what were the Factors behind)
The condition of Religion in India and the Enmity between Hindu and Mahomedans
How Railways, Doctors and Lawyers are responsible to India Poor ( Man this is the chapter i lost my brain into, at this point i just wanted to give up on the book)
Some of the Ideas Gandhi gave were so absurd that at one point I almost thought to stop. For example he gave absurd points about how Railways, Lawyers and Doctors are responsible for India's Poor condition, the man can't even see these technical and medical advancements and the people need them.
You can read it to know what his ideas were but not to know how we exactly got independence.
