Purna Swaraj

Purna Swaraj, meaning "Complete Self-Rule," was a declaration made by Indian nationalists in 1930, asserting that India should be fully independent from British rule. It marked a shift from seeking partial reforms to demanding total sovereignty. This aspiration was expressed through the Indian Independence Movement, culminating in the rejection of British authority and the commitment to self-governance, economic independence, and cultural pride. Purna Swaraj symbolizes India’s resolve to become a free, united nation, emphasizing that true freedom involves full political autonomy and respect for its own identity and future.
