The most familiar image of Mahatma Gandhi is of him seated, bare chested & in a short dhoti, near a spinning wheel. He made spinning on the Charkha & the daily use of Khadi as very powerful symbols. These were symbols of not only self-reliance but also of resistance to the use of British mill-made cloth.
