Question

how did mahatma gandhi's idea of khadi become a symbolic weapon against british rule

Answer 1

Mahatma Gandhi's weapons of satyagrah were khadi and charkha. He believed in the development of cottage industries which would help indigenous industries and cut the foreign import. This would help in the non- cooperation movement as cooperation was the basis on which the British were trading in India. It symbolised as a boycott measure towards the British rule.
