Gandhi at His Spinning Wheel

"Some pictures are doomed to be destroyed or forgotten, some pictures are destined to be memorized and remembered, for example, there are few noteworthy portraits of him." (1946 ) Life Magazine. We analyze the historical story behind the photograph of Gandhi's rotating wheel. This black and white portrait was taken by Margaret Bark White in 1946. His real name is Mahatma Gandhi, he is one of the most important figures of the 20th century. The overall appearance of Gandhi casts doubts about what they think about him.

In the movie "Gandhi", you may remember that Gandhi is spinning cotton yarn with a tight spinning car. Gandhi and his colleagues were people who developed the wheels and introduced it to the village. This is the first case now called "proper technology" or "intermediate technology". Of course, E. F. Schumacher, author of Small is Beautiful, introduced these terms later. Schumacher was strongly influenced by Gandhi and called him "the teacher of the most important economy today". The person who started this work in India is the true successor of Gandhi. Other modern Gandhi people also participate in campaigns such as Tipuko "hugging trees" to stop the irresponsible logging in Himalayas, or Shanti Senna, "Peace Army", nonviolent intervention to urban riots Did. My book Gandhi Today describes many Gandhi programs.

• Gandhi sat on his rotating wheel and was called "swaraj" or autonomy. Obviously, "self-control" surrounding him was not what he imagined, but criticized him as relying on local production as a means of not being able to strengthen manga while not providing a solution to violence. • The criticism of the center for Jinna is focused on the idea that he is "Pukasabi" or "a suitable (UK) gentleman" and essentially does not touch the needs of people. Jinna is known for wearing custom-made suit, especially focusing on his luxury. His logo insists on independence from the UK, but is a clear critique of his ability to represent ordinary people isolated in a rich and political world.

Through long associations and meetings, Mahatma Gandhi is drawn as a rotating Chalka. He did not invent a rotating wheel and did not make a living by himself. In his era, cotton yarn spinning factory was definitely excellent. However, it is Mahatma that makes rotation a symbol of resistance and independence. He fought freely with the village of India. He not only aims at opportunities, he often uses it. Because of the importance added to Kadi, Kadi (Siso) is still relevant in India.
