A 75-year-old India has economically come a long way on its own since its independence. The seeds of swaraj (self-rule) were sown at the beginning of the twentieth century itself with eminent names like Dadabhai Naoroji, Gopal Krishna Gokhale, Mahadev Govind Ranade, Bal Gangadhar Tilak and others launching the swadeshi movement—a self-sufficiency drive with focus on goods made in India and domestic production—against the British rule. For Mahatma Gandhi, swadeshi was the heart of his call for swaraj. The same sentiment has taken a different form through the Narendra Modi government’s ‘Make In India’ initiative today.
