Question

Khadi is an Indian fabric. Khadi is also known by another name Khaddar. It is made by spinning the threads on an

instrument known as Charkha. During pre-independence era, the movement of khadi manufacturing gained

momentum under the guidance of the father of the nation, Mahatma Gandhi. The movement of khadi

manufacturing and wearing started to discourage the Indians from wearing of foreign clothes.

Khadi, before independence, was considered as a fabric for the political leaders and the rural people. But now it has

found its has into the wardrobe of fashion conscious people. The current situation is that the demand is more than

the supply. Earlier, the type of khadi available was khadi cotton which had a very coarse texture and feel. However,

many varieties of khadi like khadi silk, khadi wool and khadi cotton are available now, which makes it a fashionable

fabric and likeable by the masses.

Its concept was developed by Mahatma Gandhi. It was a symbol for political agendas during the fight for

independence in India against the British rule. It was primarily a means to provide employment to the unemployed

rural population of India at that time. The Indian flag has to be also made from khadi material. Thus, it holds national

importance, we could even call it the national fabric of India.

Khadi is a versatile fabric. It has the unique property of keeping the wearer warm in winter as well as cool in summer

season. This fabric has coarse texture and gets easily crumpled, therefore in order to keep it firm and stiff, starch is

to be added. This fabric, on washing, is more enhanced thus the more you wash it, better the look. Khadi is not easily

worn out for years together, at least for 4-5 years. Very attractive and designer apparel is made by doing handwork

on garments made from it. Khadi spinning is generally done by girls and women and weaving mostly by men. During

spinning of khadi, the threads are interwoven in such a manner that it provides passage of air circulation in the

fabric. Apart from this unique property, it also provides warmth in winter season which is quite surprising factor.

Khadi cotton is required to be starched, so that it does not get easily crumpled. It comes in many colours and is not

harmful to the skin as synthetic fabrics. This cotton is very soothing in summer season as ample amount of air

ventilation is there. It has the capacity to absorb moisture therefore it easily soaks the sweat and keeps the wearer

cool and dry. Khadi cotton comes in plain as well as in printed fabrics. The most common outfit made from khadi

cotton is the Kurta. Many types of apparel are manufactured from khadi cotton like saris, salwar suits, fabric yarns,

western tops, shirts, trousers, skirts, handkerchiefs, etc. It is a very durable fabric.
