Khadi was not just a symbol; it was a massive exercise in organisational establishment, in forging networks, brand-building, and ideological investment. Using a fresh andimaginative approach, the book shows how an idea, determinedly pursued, can become a movement. It also argues that simplicity as advocated by the khadi movement can be subversive and revolutionary. Khadi acquired emblematic status during Indias freedom struggle. Gandhi, largely acknowledged as the one who pioneered the fabric and invested it with symbolism, saw khadi as heralding real freedom to the millions of poor and marginalised Indians. Bringing a peripheral academic concern to its rightful centrality, the book analyses how Gandhis aggressive khadi campaign was meant to clearly separate Indians across a sartorial divide between those who clung to self-interest and, by extension, loyalty to British imperialism, and those who acted for social well-being.Recreating a parallel history of the khadi movement alongside that of Indias freedom struggle, Ramagundam argues that khadis core semiotic lay in its being a commodity of resistance against colonial exploitation. Focusing on the khadi movement, the book seeks to widen the academic debate on the forces leading to Indias independence....1857328GANDHIS KHADI143143https://www.gandhi.com.mx/gandhi-s-khadi-1/phttps://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/240621/164b0fa3-0173-429c-b572-d2620283e72a.jpg?v=638333930334870000InStockMXN99999DIEbook20169788125062806_W3siaWQiOiIxNzQzYzhlMi01Zjg5LTQxYTEtODk4YS04YjBlODU1N2E1ZWMiLCJsaXN0UHJpY2UiOjEzMiwiZGlzY291bnQiOjAsInNlbGxpbmdQcmljZSI6MTMyLCJpbmNsdWRlc1RheCI6dHJ1ZSwicHJpY2VUeXBlIjoiV2hvbGVzYWxlIiwiY3VycmVuY3kiOiJNWE4iLCJmcm9tIjoiMjAyNC0xMS0wOFQxMzowMDowMFoiLCJ0byI6IjIwMjQtMTEtMzBUMjM6NTk6NTlaIiwicmVnaW9uIjoiTVgiLCJpc1ByZW9yZGVyIjpmYWxzZX0seyJpZCI6Ijk3MjlhNDk5LTllNTYtNGRjZS05NTg3LTlhODdjNjJlNjE5MyIsImxpc3RQcmljZSI6MTQwLCJkaXNjb3VudCI6MCwic2VsbGluZ1ByaWNlIjoxNDAsImluY2x1ZGVzVGF4Ijp0cnVlLCJwcmljZVR5cGUiOiJXaG9sZXNhbGUiLCJjdXJyZW5jeSI6Ik1YTiIsImZyb20iOiIyMDI0LTEyLTAxVDAwOjAwOjAwWiIsInJlZ2lvbiI6Ik1YIiwiaXNQcmVvcmRlciI6ZmFsc2V9XQ==9788125062806_The book is a study of khadi, the fabric that successfully transcended its commodity status to become a political symbol.
