Abstract
Gandhi's Hind Swaraj is not rejection of the liberative contribution of mod ernity. Rather his effort can be interpreted as an attempt to integrate the se positive elements with a liberating re-interpretation of tradition. With his critique from within the tradition, Gandhi becomes the great synthesis er of contraries within and across traditions.
