#VeerSavarkar writes in The Indian War if Independence 1857 :
“Swaraj without Swadharma is despicable and Swadharma without Swaraj is powerless. The sword of material power, Swaraj, should always be ready drawn for our object, our safety in the other world,
“Swaraj without Swadharma is despicable and Swadharma without Swaraj is powerless. The sword of material power, Swaraj, should always be ready drawn for our object, our safety in the other world,
Swadharma. This trend or the Eastern mind will be often found in its history. The reason why, in the East, all revolutions take a religious form, nay more, the reason why Eastern history knows of no revolutions unconnected with religion, lies in the
all-embracing meaning that the word 'Dharma' has. That this dual principle of Swadharma and Swaraj, always seen in the history of India, appeared also in the Revolution of 1857, should be a matter of no surprise.

thus: "Why has God given us wealth, land, power? They are not for individual pleasure, but they are given for the holy object of defence of our religion." But where are now the means to attain this holy end? As said in the Proclamation given above, where is the gift of
Swaraj, the greatest of all the gifts of God?

destroying India, full descriptions are given as to how the Kingdoms of Nagpur, Ayodhya, and Jhansi were trampled down into dust. And it awakens the people to the fact that they are guilty of the sin of destroying religion in the house of God, having lost these means of
defending religion. The command of God is, Obtain Swaraj, for that is the chief key to the protection of Dharma. He who does not attempt to acquire Swaraj, he who sits silent in slavery, he is a hater of Religion. Therefore,
rise for Swadharma and acquire Swaraj !”
Is this still relevant? #FreetheTemples
@annamalai_k very correctly says through his eloquent speeches that we need to free our temples, the devotees must run our own places of worship- Swarajya for Swadharma!
