First Indian to used the word ‘Swarajya’ -
In 1906, Dadabhai Naoroji (who was the President of the INC session at Calcutta), and in his Presidential address, used the word Swaraj. Thus, the word, ‘Swaraj’ wasn’t untouchable to them, but they were reluctant to pass the resolution over ‘Swaraj’. Therefore, Dadabhai Naoroji was the first Indian to use the word Swarajya in 1906.
