Why was khadi not always an immediately easy option for poor people?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Because it was often costlier than mill-made cloth
The governing concept is the tension between political ideals and material affordability. Khadi represented swadeshi, self-reliance, and opposition to imported cloth, but hand-spun or handwoven fabric could cost more than mass-produced mill cloth. Poor families therefore faced a real economic constraint. Option A is correct; khadi was not foreign, free government clothing, or restricted to soldiers.
