Hindi term or phrase: Swachhand
Swatantra - Is a state of being, a noun

Swachand - Is the way one leads life with complete disregard to etiquette or social norms.

Nearest English equivalent could be LICENTIOUS or LIBERTINE But not so really
Or untramelled , or more than emancipated . Maybe uninhibited comes closest? Some have suggested closest word could be "bindaas" But thats not English.but of purer form not the jaggu dada type-someone who cares two hoots for rules and regulations governing so called politically correct behaviour-so yes free and liberated but something more -with an element of purity in it.
See what you can come up with -search for right word that captures the spirit of wild abandon in say "liberation" Finally another tip "A swachand one is like a bull (saand) roaming in the streets of Banaras. He can attack also. The behaviour of that bull can not be called bindas or emancipated. Hence the search is still on.

self-willed


Explanation:
समांतर कोश (अरविंद कुमार, कुसुम कुमार) में "स्वच्छंद"
-अलमस्त
-नियंत्रणहीन
-निरंकुश
-व्यभिचारी
-स्वेच्छाचारितापूर्ण
-स्वेच्छाचारी

मनोज जी, यह शब्द यहाँ पर मैंने इसलिए दिए कि स्वच्छंद का अंग्रेज़ी अनुवाद संदर्भ पर निर्भर करेगा। हिंदी में स्वच्छंद का प्रयोग किस संदर्भ में हो रहा है उसी अनुसार ही उसका अंग्रेज़ी शब्द ढूँढ़ा जा सकता है। आपने बनारसी सांड़ का जिक्र किया तो तत्काल औघड़, अलमस्त, मतवाला, मनमौजी जैसे शब्द जेहन में आ जाते हैं। LICENTIOUS or LIBERTINE का आपने ठीक ही उल्लेख किया है, ये स्वच्छंद का भाव संपूर्णता में प्रकट नहीं करते।

अब दार्शनिक शब्दावली में स्वच्छंदतावाद की अंग्रेज़ी देखें तो वह है - Romanticism

इसलिए संदर्भ और अधिक स्पष्ट करें तो बेहतर हो।
