Following are the reasons for which Gandhi put emphasis on the production of Khaadi:
1. First of all, he believed in the doctrine of Swadeshi, which means using everything made in his own nation.
2. He promoted the idea of a boycott. The ideology behind boycott was to protest against the foreign made products. Therefore, to serve the need of people he promoted the production of India made textile.
3. The handspun khaadi gave huge employment to Indians. Because Khaadi is a cottage industry, which can easily be set up in homes and through this woman who cannot go outside their homes can easily work.
