INDE (VIE POLITIQUE ET SOCIALE)Index. dĂ©cimale : COL.TX TEXTE COURT RĂ©sumĂ© : (This book) investigates the power of a symbol to qualitatively transform society by studying Mahatma Gandhiâs use of clothing as a metaphor for unity, empowerment and liberation from imperial subjugation. The book brings together historical evidence of Gandhiâs search for a semiotics of attire in his quest for personal integrity and socio-political change. From a multidisciplinary perspective, it closely examines the subversion underlying his sartorial communication.
The author also discusses the complex challenges in Gandhiâs highly polarized environment, such as the conflict between the British Empire and the Indian National Congress, HinduâMuslim tensions, the urbanârural divide, and the question of untouchability.
The author examines the symbolic potential for change which khadi has, not merely as ârevolutionâ or âseditionâ, but as a sustained, well-organised strategy for achieving full independence or purna swaraj.
[Editor]
âMy book is not about khadi. It is about Gandhiâs subversive symbolization through khadi. It therefore emphasizes the symbolic role that khadi played in the freedom struggle. Therefore, I am personally indifferent to the relevance or irrelevance of khadi today. But, people do benefit and even profit from its relevance today. It is relevant and salutary to those who strive to follow in the huge footsteps of Gandhi. These are the social activists and community workers who dedicate their lives to the liberation of the millions at the bottom of Indiaâs stratified pyramid. Then there are those who abuse the historical credibility that khadi has to promote their own interests â whether it be to impress the public or to win the elections. There is a third group that, motivated by pecuniary concerns, has tried to reinstate khadi as a popular fashion statement suitable for public performances and ceremonies.â
