About the Book

This seminal work presents Mahatma Gandhi’s vision of khadi as a powerful symbol of self-reliance, economic independence, and national regeneration. Edited by Bharatan Kumarappa, the book brings together Gandhi’s writings and reflections on the role of khadi in India’s freedom movement and rural development.

Gandhi viewed khadi not merely as a fabric but as a movement representing self-sufficiency, dignity of labour, and resistance to colonial economic policies. The work explores how the promotion of hand-spun and hand-woven cloth became a central part of the Swadeshi movement and a means of empowering rural communities.

Ideal for readers interested in Gandhian philosophy, Indian economic thought, and the history of the freedom movement, this volume provides valuable insights into Gandhi’s ideas on self-reliance, sustainable living, and social transformation.
