- Towards greater freedom: a movement from millean liberty to Gandhian Swarãj(Servicio de Publicaciones de la Universidad de Navarra, 2022) Kakkariyil, J. (Joseph)What makes man, man is the freedom and execution of it in all realms but without harming the other in any way is the crux of the entire project. The first chapter of our project was about the Autobiography written by John Stuart Mill and its interconnectedness to our general theme of the liberty of the individual. His autobiography proves that the wisdom he imbibed in childhood and lessons of youth and old age guided him to form a concrete idea of human freedom that was essential for self-realization. The second chapter gives the clear-cut idea that without freedom any development that is attained is not development at all. It also reveals the fact that eccentricity, genius, individuality, dialogue, variety of human experiences, experiments in human living etc. are the factors that determine and enlarges the liberty of every individual. The third chapter is about the Autobiography of Gandhi, which deals with the experiments of Gandhi with truth. The fourth chapter is about Swara-j, the liberty par excellent, which finds in concrete application in the constructive programme. And the fifth chapter is a grand comparison of the approaches of Mill and Gandhi to human liberty, which shows that whether the approach is from the West or from the East, has the relevance even today. There is superiority in the approach taken by Gandhi with regard to the theme of liberty, wherein the emphasis is laid on ahimsa-, morality and Satya-graha.
