Why was khadi seen as a political symbol rather than merely a cloth?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Because it was linked with swadeshi self-reliance and boycott of foreign cloth
Khadi represented more than a material used for clothing. Spinning and wearing it expressed support for swadeshi, self-reliance and Indian village production, while rejecting the economic dominance symbolised by foreign cloth. It also made participation in nationalism visible in everyday life. Options B and C are factually wrong, and D directly denies khadi’s well-known political association.
