Gandhiji’s model of Swaraj was almost entirely discarded by the Indian Government. He had wanted a system of a Classless, Stateless, Direct democracy. In what is known as his last will and testament Gandhi suggested the disbanding of the Congress as a political forum. He said Its task is done The next task is to move into villages and revitalise life there to build a new socio-economic structure from the bottom upwards. He wanted the Congress Party to change into a constructive work organisation Lok Sewak Sangh was the name he proposed to conscientise and mobilise the people to work and struggle for  Swaraj. However, none of these objectives were achieved when India became Independent. India, although a federation, got a strong Central Government. Representative democracy, rather than direct democracy was adopted. The Congress Party was not disbanded. Rather it went on to become one of the front runners in running the government of India.

  1. Gandhi’s last will suggested Congress to continue as a political platform
  2. Gandhi wanted to move into the villages to build a new socioeconomic structure
