Answer 1

The correct answer is Hind Swaraj.Key Points

Hind Swaraj or Indian Home Rule is a book written by Mohandas K. Gandhi in 1909.
In it, he expresses his views on Swaraj, modern civilization, and mechanization, among other matters.
Gandhi's Hind Swaraj takes the form of a dialogue between two characters, The Reader and The Editor. The Reader (specifically identified by the historian S. R. Mehrotra as Dr. Pranjivan Mehta) essentially serves as the typical Indian countryman whom Gandhi would have been addressing with Hind Swaraj.
Gandhi also argues that Indian independence is only possible through passive resistance. In fact, more than denouncing violence, Gandhi argues that it is counter-productive; instead, he believes, “The force of love and pity is infinitely greater than the force of arms.
There is harm in the exercise of brute force, never in that of pity.” This is essential throughout Hind Swaraj.
