My swadeshi chiefly centers round the handspun khaddar and extends to everything that can be and is produced in India.
Wearing khadi was a badge of honour. It was something one was proud to do.
When the wheel was accepted as part of the national flag, it was surely implied that the spinning wheel would hum in every household.
India as a nation can live and die only for the spinning wheel.
Khadi will be the sun of the whole industrial solar system.
I swear by swadeshi as it affords occasion for ample exercise of all our faculties and it tests every one of the millions of men and women, young and old.
Boycott brought about anyhow of British cloth cannot yield the same results as such boycott brought about by hand-spinning and khaddar.
Khaddar has the greatest organizing power in it because it has itself to be organized and because it affects all India.
