1. Read the passage given below and answer the questions that follow:

Khadi – The Weave of India

Khadi and non-violence were two powerful weapons with

which Mahatma Gandhi armed Indians so that they could throw

out their British rulers. Gandhi ji referred to khadi as the ‘dress of

freedom.’ Soon khadi became the symbol of the Indian freedom

struggle as massive bonfires were lit across the country and

Indians burnt foreign cloth coming from England. Today, khadi continues to be an

enduring symbol of pride and fashion for most Indians.

Nowadays, people tend to shop at the same malls and the result is that all clothing

is beginning to look boringly same. It’s all machine finished and ‘perfect’ unlike

each piece of khadi which is different and most people don’t mind paying for this

exclusivity. Since the dye and weaves are done by hand, each khadi product has a

unique finish and look. If you want to stand out from the crowd, then khadi is your

go-to fabric. It gets softer with each wash; remains cool in summer and warm in

winter which makes it the ideal fabric for the hot Indian weather.

The’ Khadi Board’ put up an exceptional fashion show in Ahmedabad titled 'From

Huts to the High Street' showcasing khadi garments. India’s top fashion designers

took part in this show and all of them were of the opinion that khadi is an eco-

friendly fabric which looks very trendy if it is dyed and cut well.

“We must promote the use of khadi and buy at least one khadi article. If you buy

khadi, you light the lamp of prosperity in the house of a poor person,” said our

Prime Minister. He continues to promote this fabric by wearing it regularly on his

international trips.

One thing is for sure – khadi will continue to be significant in the years to come,

both as a symbol of freedom and as an eco- friendly fabric.

Based on your understanding of the passage, answer the following questions:

a. Why did Gandhi ji call khadi the ‘dress of freedom’?

b. Why is all clothing beginning to look boringly same these days?

c. In context to the passage, what is 'From Huts to the High Street'?​
