(Chitta Ranjan) Chittaranjan Das Freedom Through Disobedience E-text prepared by Bryan Ness and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team (http://www.pgdp.net) from page images generously made available by Internet Archive (http://www.archive.org) "Freedom Through Disobedience" by Chitta Ranjan Das is a political speech delivered during the early 20th century, specifically in the 1920s, at the thirty-seventh session of the Indian National Congress. The book reflects on the theme of political resistance, urging the necessity of disobedience against unjust laws and repressive governmental practices as a means to achieve India's freedom from colonial rule. Das articulates the principles of nationalism, the importance of self-determination, and the moral imperative of non-violent resistance. In this powerful address, Das draws parallels between historical struggles for freedom, including references to seminal events in English history, to argue that the Indian populace must assert their rights through disobedience to oppressive laws rather than passive compliance. He underscores the idea that true representation and governance must arise from the people's will and that unjust laws losing legitimacy through popular non-cooperation. Throughout, he emphasizes the need for a collective national identity and cooperation among various communities in India, promoting a vision of Swaraj (self-rule) that is rooted in the spiritual and moral upliftment of society. With a call for robust participation from all sections of the population, especially labor and peasant groups, Das seeks to unify diverse communities across India in the pursuit of freedom.
