 (a) His autobiography

(b) Hind Swaraj

(c) Harijan

(d) Young India.

Ans: (b) Hind Swaraj

Explanation: The correct option is (b) Hind Swaraj.

Gandhiji’s main critique of modern civilization is contained in his book “Hind Swaraj.” Published in 1909, Hind Swaraj (also known as Indian Home Rule) presents Gandhi’s philosophical and political views on various aspects of modern civilization and the path he believed India should take to achieve true self-rule and independence.

In Hind Swaraj, Gandhi criticizes the modern civilization of his time, including its emphasis on material progress, industrialization, and Western values. He argues that this civilization has led to the exploitation of natural resources, environmental degradation, moral decay, and social injustice.

Gandhi advocates for a return to traditional Indian values, self-sufficiency, and the practice of nonviolence as the means to achieve genuine freedom and self-governance. Hind Swaraj is considered one of Gandhi’s seminal works and a foundational text of his philosophy.

So, option (b) is the correct answer.
