What is Swaraj

Once upon a time long long ago Manav was shipwrecked on a large island on Swadesh. While Swadesh once had a civilization by the time Manav landed there the civilization had vanished, All that was left of the civilization of Swadesh was its architecture, miles and miles of wild farms of rice, wheat, various millets and pulses, spices etc.

Manav occupied a decent house on the edge of a groove filled with various fruit bearing tree right next to a river.

Abandoned shops provide him with clothes and other necessities 

All his needs are taken care of, There is no compulsion for Manav to follow any social norms. He is as free as any human being can be. This complete freedom comes at a cost. 

• There is not one to socialize with
• If he falls sick No one can take care of him.
• Occassionally pirates(Tyranny) land up on the shore of his island, There is no way he can defend himselves against them and he is forced to go in hiding.

In this situation when another individual is introduced to the island one part of Manav wants to drive him off, another part yearns for the company of another human being, he struggles to keep both his freedom and his companion(Monarchy) but finally gives up and agrees to share the available resources with the other person leading to creation of private goods, public goods and commons.

As shipwrecks slowly start landing up on the island the community grows leading to questions of rule of the law. Whenever a large group of shipwrecks landed, the foundation of society were shaken, the new arrivals wanted to do things their own way leading to stress. The existing rule of law was either overthrown or assimilated the needs of the new group and continued.
