Abstract: In the realm of political thought, Mahatma Gandhi and Jean-Jacques Rousseau stand as towering figures whose ideas have profoundly shaped our understanding of governance, individual liberty, and social responsibility. While separated by time and cultural context, their philosophies share a common thread: a deep concern for the human condition and a belief in the transformative power of education. This article explores the interconnectedness of their ideas, focusing on how their concepts of Swaraj (self-rule) and the Social Contract have influenced political education.
