2. Who among the following was associated with the Swaraj Party? (KERALA SET 2013 DECEMBER)
The Swaraj Party, founded in 1923 by Chittaranjan Das and Motilal Nehru, was a significant Indian political party during the Indian independence movement. It emerged from a split in the Indian National Congress (INC) over strategies to achieve self-rule. The party advocated for active participation in the legislative councils and sought to use these platforms to challenge British policies and demand constitutional reforms. The Swaraj Party aimed to achieve self-governance for India through constitutional means rather than the boycott strategy endorsed by the INC at that time. Its efforts contributed to shaping India's political discourse and influenced future nationalist movements.

Western Tradition-এ বিশেষভাবে লক্ষ্যের উপর জোর দেওয়া হয়েছে। সেখানে নৈতিকতার বিচার করা হয় লক্ষ্য'কে সামনে রেখে। লক্ষ্য পৌঁছানোর মাধ্যম সেখানে বিশেষ গুরুত্বপূর্ণ বলে বিবেচিত হয় না।
কিন্তু গান্ধজীর মতে, লক্ষ্য এবং উপায়-এর মধ্যে একটি অবিছেদ্য সম্পর্ক বিদ্যমান। বিশেষ করে নৈতিকতার বিষয়টিকে অবজ্ঞা করা যায় না। লক্ষ্য ব্যক্তি নিজেরা নির্ধারণ করে নিলেও তার উপর ব্যক্তির নিজস্ব কোন নিয়ন্ত্রণ থাকে না কিন্তু লক্ষ্যে পৌঁছানোর জন্য যে মাধ্যম বিশেষ গুরুত্বপূর্ণ ভূমিকা পালন করে। ব্যক্তি চাইলে তার উপর নিয়ন্ত্রণ কায়েম করতে পারে। লক্ষ্য যদি স্বাধীনতা এবং শান্তি হয় তবে তার মাধ্যম অবশ্যই নৈতিক হতে হবে, সেখানে হিংসার কোন জায়গা থাকবে না। কেননা হিংসাকে মাধ্যম করে লক্ষ্যে পৌঁছানো হলে সেটিও ক্রমেই হিংসাত্বক হয়ে উঠবে। তাই লক্ষ্য এবং উপায় দুটি পৃথক কোন বিষয় নয় বরং এই দুই-এর মাঝে এক অবিচ্ছেদ্য সম্পর্ক বিদ্যমান।
