"La jeune Inde" by Mahatma Gandhi is a collection of political writings written in the early 20th century. It gathers his articles and addresses on non-violent resistance, national self-rule, and moral reform under colonial rule, presenting Satyagraha as a disciplined, transformative force. The focus is on non-cooperation, Swadeshi, Hindu–Muslim unity, and the ethical foundations of political action. The opening of the work presents Romain Rolland’s introduction, which frames the writings as an audacious, methodical “experiment” in non-violence—an active “sword” of self‑sacrifice rather than passivity—carried out amid real danger, strict self-discipline, and total transparency. He highlights the aims and risks of mobilizing vast, emotional crowds, Gandhi’s readiness to err, correct, and bear responsibility, his outreach even to adversaries, and his insistence on moral rigor. The early pieces then show this program in action: a call for Satyagraha linked with Swadeshi and interfaith solidarity; a clear statement of principles distinguishing Satyagraha from passive resistance and recounting the first nationwide fast-and-strike, Gandhi’s arrest, the unrest that followed, and his critique of punitive state measures; an appeal to support Muslims over the Caliphate by principled non-cooperation rather than commercial boycotts; a measured response to a royal proclamation urging disciplined agitation, not complacency; a practical plan to achieve Swaraj through village spinning and khadi; guidance on Hindu–Muslim unity grounded in shared purpose and tolerance rather than social mixing; a plea for clemency after the Amritsar trials; and a concise definition of non-violence as active goodwill toward all beings.
