KhÄdÄ«
Khadi (also khaddar; Devanagari: खादी, khadi, Nastaliq: کھڈی کھدر ) commonly referred to hand-spun cotton.
Khadi is India's hand-spun and hand-woven clothing. The raw material for the production can be cotton, silk, or wool and is processed on a spinning wheel called Charkha.
Khadi is a versatile fabric, cool in summer and warm in winter. Because the material is much coarser than other woven fabrics, it wrinkled easily and is therefore often strengthened to improve the appearance.
In the 1920s, Mohandas Gandhi started to propagate the spinning of Khadi. Firstly, it should provide an opportunity for the agricultural community to self-sufficiency, on the other hand should Khadi fabric oust the foreign material products. Gandhi himself dressed exclusively with Khadi. The Indian flag is made exclusively from khadi.
