Q.
2. Bring out the salient features of Gandhian perspective on development.
Ans.
The spinning wheel symbolized self-reliance.
It was a potent instrument to reach out to people to promote swadeshi or native
goods. That way it hurt the British interests most when it resulted in boycott
of foreign goods. Charkha, literally meaning “wheel,” is India’s generic term
for any spinning wheel or hand-cranked spinning machine. During his lifetime,
Gandhi referred to the spinning wheel as a symbol of non-violence,
independence, and the tool needed to lift India out of poverty. Returning to
India from South Africa, where he had enjoyed a successful legal practice,
Ghandi gave up wearing Western-style clothing, which he associated with wealth
and success. He dressed to be accepted by the poorest person in India,
advocating the use of homespun cloth (Khadi) and a simple living lifestyle.
Gandhi and his followers adopted the practice of weaving their own clothes from
thread they themselves spun, and encouraged others to do so. While Indian
workers were often idle due to unemployment, they had often bought their
clothing from industrial manufacturers owned by British interests.
