According to Sri Aurobindo, Swaraj is a necessary condition for India to accomplish its destined goal. Comment in 150 words.
How the answer moves
The flow snapshot — the routes in, the body, the counter-view and the routes out.
Route 1 Swaraj not an end in itself → complete independence → precondition for India’s spiritual destiny
Route 2 foreign rule blocks a nation’s natural growth → India as Mother in chains → freedom to recover selfhood
alien rule obstructs growth + individuality → good government ≠ self-government → destiny larger than freedom → recover individuality + revive Sanatana Dharma + guide humanity → national regeneration → universal regeneration → Heehs: freedom the indispensable condition for India’s world-role
spiritual–Hindu vocabulary risky in a plural society → thin on concrete social/economic reform
Route 1 nation in chains cannot fulfil a spiritual mission → Swaraj the necessary first step to destiny
Route 2 freedom the gateway, not the goal → Swaraj’s worth lies in the destiny it enables
