Social and Religious Decay
By C. Rajagopalachari
Summary
Social and Religious Decay is a short essay by C. Rajagopalachari (Rajaji) — freedom fighter, first Indian Governor-General, and co-founder of the Swatantra Party — reflecting on what he saw as the erosion of moral, social, and religious values in modern Indian public life. It belongs to the strand of Rajaji’s later writing in which he paired his classical-liberal politics with an insistent concern for individual character, ethical conduct, and the spiritual foundations of a free society.
