    Answer:

                      (i) The British machine-made clothes were cheaper than Khadi so most of the poor started using foreign clothes. (ii) The wealthy Parsis adopted western style clothing as they were sign of progress and modernity. (iii) Even leaders like Motilal Nehru used fine Indian cloth material; but not the coarse Khadi material. (iv) As western dress style was for all most adopted as a mark of equality.
