He called this movement Swadeshi, or home economy . He said that Thetrue India is to be found not in its few cities but in its700,000 villages.Gandhis vision of a free India was not a nationstatebut a confederation of self -governing, self -reliant, self -employed people living in villagecommunities, deriving their right livelihood fromthe products of their homesteads. Maximumeconomic and political power including thepower to decide what could be imported into orexported from the village would remain in thehands of the village assemblies. (Only Connect:, pg.172)The general principles of Swadeshi state that the products of the village should beused first and foremost in the village by the members of the community . Tradingbetween villages should be undertaken as only a secondary option and in generalshould be minimized.Swadeshi avoids economic dependence onexternal market forces that could make the villagecommunity vulnerable. It also avoids unnecessary,unhealthy, wasteful, and therefore environmentallydestructive, transportation. The village must build astrong economic base to satisfy most of its needs,and all members of the village community shouldgive priority to local goods and services. (OnlyConnect, pg. 175)111
