<h3>History of khadi</h3>
Ancient Origins: The tradition of handspinning and handweaving cotton fabric, which later became known as khadi, dates back thousands of years in the Indian subcontinent. It was a part of India's ancient textile heritage.
Mahatma Gandhi's Influence: Khadi gained significant prominence during India's fight for independence from British colonial rule, largely due to Mahatma Gandhi's advocacy. Gandhi saw khadi as a powerful tool for economic self-reliance and a means to empower India's rural population.
Swadeshi Movement: In the early 20th century, the Swadeshi Movement encouraged Indians to boycott British-made goods and promote locally produced goods. Khadi became a symbol of this movement as it was handcrafted by Indians and represented self-sufficiency.
Khadi as a Symbol: Mahatma Gandhi himself adopted khadi as his everyday attire, making it a symbol of simplicity and a rejection of Western clothing. He believed that khadi could provide employment to millions of rural Indians and help reduce poverty.
Khadi Institutions: During the independence movement, various khadi institutions and cooperatives were established to promote the production and sale of khadi. These institutions played a crucial role in making khadi accessible to a wider audience.
Post-Independence: After India gained independence in 1947, khadi continued to be promoted as a symbol of India's cultural heritage and self-reliance. The Khadi and Village Industries Commission (KVIC) was established to oversee and promote khadi production.
Khadi Today: In modern times, khadi has evolved beyond its political and independence-era associations. It has found a place in the fashion industry as a sustainable and eco-friendly fabric. Designers have incorporated khadi into contemporary clothing, making it popular both in India and abroad.
Global Recognition: Khadi has also gained recognition on the global stage, with fashion shows and exhibitions showcasing its versatility and sustainability in cities like Paris, New York, and Dubai.

How Khadi went from being the 'Fabric of Freedom' to 'Haute Couture'

Derived from the word Khaddar, Khadi&nbsp;has a rich history and a bright future. From being a fabric of freedom, it is now counted as&nbsp;Haute&nbsp;Couture.

Known to have been donned by both Nehru and Gandhi, Khadi&nbsp;is part&nbsp;of a strong textile history of India. And at present, it is the most sought after and celebrated fabric in the fashion industry.&nbsp;&nbsp;
<h2>What is Khadi?</h2>
Khadi&nbsp;is a coarse&nbsp;handspun&nbsp;and hand-woven fabric made from natural fibres.&nbsp;Derived from the word Khaddar, the making of Khadi involves converting fibre into yarn using spinning wheels. Made from cotton, silk and wool it can keep you warm in winters and cool in summers.&nbsp;
<h2>Evolution of Khadi</h2>
Khadi's evolution dates back to India's freedom struggle when Mahatma Gandhi revived the fabric and turned it into a powerful political tool against the British Raj. Gandhi with his chakra encouraged the use of the fabric "Made in India," as an effort to improve the socio-economic conditions and make way for self-sustenance.&nbsp;A symbol of the Swadeshi movement, self-reliance and self-respect, the revival of Khadi&nbsp;helped pave India's path to liberation.&nbsp;
Khadi has a rich history and a promising future.&nbsp;From being a "fabric of freedom" it has now made a transition into a "fashion statement." Even big labels such as&nbsp;Sabyasachi&nbsp;have their eyes glued on Khadi.&nbsp;
