The oath of Swarajya

A group of young farmers' sons climb to a small Shiva temple and make a promise. What did they mean by Swarajya, and how did a sixteen-year-old keep it?

It begins: "Last time we met the boy at Shivneri and his mother in Pune, and the young men of the Maval valleys who became his friends."
