Khadi Modified

I don't understand what the issue is all about. Maybe the Khadi people did go overboard in projecting Modi but why should that be so upsetting. Do Gandhiji own the sole copyright to Khadi??

it is the pride for current PM of India to make Khadi popular again and it is one of most witted respect to Gandhi what he should be wishing to and in India everything is politicized and slowly all these are proving to be minuscule in nature. 

see there is no human in this world which can be compared with Mahatma Gandhi but this is really a mistake and should be corrected immediately.

I think though Gandhi ji is inseparable to khadi, Modi can be without doubt called the face that glorified Khadi and has developed it. 

I feel while Modi deserves to be there, they should have also kept Gandhiji along with him. One the poineer of Khadi movement and other the youth icon and modern brand ambassador of Khadi.

As usual parties are politicizing it for their personal interests

Khadi is not only hand made cloth, but it is symbol of self reliance, It is better that Modi Kept with Gandi ji.

Now you please don't go overboard because no one including Mahatma Gandhi is perfect and I am sure there are quite a few people who are as good or even better than him in this world..

Yes, it was a symbol of self-reliance during the freedom struggle. The reason why Gandhiji implored people to spin their own clothes was solely to reduce our total dependence on England for cloth. By reducing imported cloth usage, England could be hit badly financially and thus loosen its hold on India. But does that fact have any relevance left today in the 21st century? Young people, why only young, even older people attach more importance to brands and go for everything that is imported, Khadi cloth has become a fashion statement and in many cases, is more expensive than regular cotton cloth. Why attach so much importance to the charkha now. Also, it was not just Gandhiji, but also others such as Acharya Vinoba Bhave, Vallabhbhai, Morarji bhai etc. who used a spinning wheel regularly and wore only khadi. If KVIC wants to revive its image and bring some changes, why an issue is created over it?

The opposition wants to hold on to any and every issue to create a controversy. Khadi has now gone on from the hand spun clothing that it was , to become an industry of its own and there have been many people who have pooled in to popularise it - celebrities, politicians etc 

Surprise to find more than the politicians there were news channels that had been creating the stories and then asking politicians about their opinion and different way to create and grood stories but one should also see the realties of development of khadi industry and if it is gaining momentum then it should be the win-win situation for India.

Gandhi ji was a human and not God personified. That's the problem with Indian mindset where we go to the extent of WORSHIPPING people. Gandhiji has been called Mahatma for his deeds and deserves the respect of the nation. But he also was human and has erred.

Now Khadi's significance has also changed over time. It is a fashion statement now and an industry which contributes to economy. The face of Khadi can also change. 

Here is something I found today, food for thought!

Good effort, but where these photographs used in KVIC calendars may please be clarified for better appreciation.

That has been the problem all along since Congress having been in power for so many decades , it has made sure that all national mo uments and public places are named after one family members not even acknowledging other great leaders like Lal Bahadur Shastri or Narasimha Rao. They think Mahatma Gandhi and everything connected to him is theirs not nations .. now with no power in their hands the family is going mad with anger attacking everything that comes their way !

The intentions of Congress party are well known, that is to rule the Country. Unfortunately for the Congress and fortunately for this Country, People knew all about the sinister plans of the Communal Congress,  and Congress party has been kicked out once and for all. That is why Congress out of jealousy, will take every opportunity to defame Modi and his Government. There is nothing strange about it.

I am agree with you, In these no one is using charkha for spinning. In my childhood spinning with charkha is very common. Even in my school we spine thread with little equipment called Takli. And thread which we spin in whole year, we gave it to school. School owner used this thread for weaving carpet for us. Every thing is changing . All cotton cloth making mills is using models to promote their product. What is wrong if KVIC used Modi to promote Khadi. Modi is himself a brand.

I remember, I too used to spin  using Takli during my High school days in the craft class. Yes there is nothing wrong if KVIC uses Modi to promote khadi

Surprisingly after initial hue and cry now this khadi issues was no where, and this is the way politics in India going on as there has not been any sounds about it now-a-day ad when I look back for some days i always think that the raising of this issues by oppositions is there any subject in it.
