Book Synopsis Indian Khadi Cloth by : Phyllida Jay
Download or read book Indian Khadi Cloth written by Phyllida Jay and published by Bloomsbury Visual Arts. This book was released on 2020-04-02 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Historically known as the symbol of economic and political freedom at the heart of Mahatma Gandhi's struggle for Indian independence, the hand-woven and hand-spun khadi cloth has been reinvented as a global luxury textile in contemporary Indian high fashion. This is the first book to address the thriving fashion industry that surrounds khadi in India, alongside the legacy of Gandhian thought in the postcolonial era, exploring how the textile has evolved from national cloth to high fashion fabric. Based on extensive ethnographic research, including interviews with designers, consumers and NGO advocates, Jay questions the relationship between the material and the social that continues to frame the production and consumption of khadi. How does khadi's symbolism as a 'moral' cloth change against a backdrop of conspicuous consumption and display? What happens to its potential to address issues of inequality and nationhood as it moves into the realms of ready-to-wear couture and heritage luxury? Caught between its historical symbolism and emergence in luxury fashion, khadi crystallizes broader questions about the role of non-western fashion in modernity, artisanal craft, ethical and sustainable fashion, and social relationships mediated through the materiality of cloth. Weaving together the complete history of khadi for the first time, Indian Khadi Cloth will appeal to students and scholars of textiles, fashion, anthropology and luxury.
Book Synopsis Clothing Gandhi's Nation by : Lisa N. Trivedi
Download or read book Clothing Gandhi's Nation written by Lisa N. Trivedi and published by Indiana University Press. This book was released on 2007-06-14 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Clothing Gandhi's Nation, Lisa Trivedi explores the making of one of modern India's most enduring political symbols, khadi: a homespun, home-woven cloth. The image of Mohandas K. Gandhi clothed simply in a loincloth and plying a spinning wheel is familiar around the world, as is the sight of Gandhi, Jawaharlal Nehru, and other political leaders dressed in "Gandhi caps" and khadi shirts. Less widely understood is how these images associate the wearers with the swadeshi movement -- which advocated the exclusive consumption of indigenous goods to establish India's autonomy from Great Britain -- or how khadi was used to create a visual expression of national identity after Independence. Trivedi brings together social history and the study of visual culture to account for khadi as both symbol and commodity. Written in a clear narrative style, the book provides a cultural history of important and distinctive aspects of modern Indian history.

Download or read book Clothing Matters written by Emma Tarlo and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 1996-09 with total page 388 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What do I wear today? The way we answer this question says much about how we manage and express our identities. This detailed study examines sartorial style in India from the late nineteenth century to the present, showing how trends in clothing are related to caste, level of education, urbanization, and a larger cultural debate about the nature of Indian identity. Clothes have been used to assert power, challenge authority, and instigate social change throughout Indian society. During the struggle for independence, members of the Indian elite incorporated elements of Western style into their clothes, while Gandhi's adoption of the loincloth symbolized the rejection of European power and the contrast between Indian poverty and British wealth. Similar tensions are played out today, with urban Indians adopting "ethnic" dress as villagers seek modern fashions. Illustrated with photographs, satirical drawings, and magazine advertisements, this book shows how individuals and groups play with history and culture as they decide what to wear.

Download or read book Thoughts from the Cosmic Field in the Life of a Thinking Insect [A Latter-Day Saint] written by Haresh Patel and published by Strategic Book Publishing. This book was released on 2009-03 with total page 398 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Haresh loves his mother Pushpa intensely. As a seven year old girl, she garlanded Gandhi at Bhadran, while he was on his famous Dandi March in 1930. Haresh was born in Bhadran in l943, prior to India's Partition. As his Hindu grandfather was a hypocrite, belonging to a Demonic Cult, Haresh started his spiritual journey at 12, after having read Gandhi's autobiography, "My Experiments with Truth." It ignited his consciousness and led him to be a jurist. He studied most of the scriptures of people and philosophy. But, being truthful, he could not succeed in a corrupt society. During the emergency days of 1975, Haresh actively participated with George Fernandese in the underground activities of the 'Baroda Dynamite Conspiracy.' In 1980, Sri Aurobindo's invisible presence initiated Haresh in the occult world of 'Savitri.' In 1982, Sri Shankar Giri, his Spiritual Master, initiated him into the mysterious occult science of Atharvana. Haresh was led to an LDS Church in Chicago, wherein he was baptized and ordained into Aaronic Priesthood. He was also gifted with the 'Holy Ghost'. On October, 22, 1994 of the same year he was mysteriously transformed into Christ Consciousness. At the insistence of Elder James Maddux, he has recorded his Epistolary Autobiography from 1994 up to 2008. Gandhi experimented with Truth all his life. He never experienced it. Unlike Gandhi, Haresh has not only experienced Truth, he lives it from moment to moment, in accordance with inner promptings from 'Holy Ghost.' This book is a story of Haresh, who is He Himself.
