      Can you think of other reason why the use of khadi could not spread among some classes, castes and regions of India?

    Answer:

                      The wearing of khadi could not spread all over India for the reasons given below (i) Khadi was costly and most people could not spin it at home and then weave it for cloth. Rich people were not interested in coarse khadi clothes; they preferred Western outfits. (ii) Caste regulation limited people to wear certain type of dresses. Some Hindu upper-castes thought that wearing khadi would destroy their caste superiority. Some Dalits converts to Christianity accepted Western style suit as a means of self-respect. (iii) The remote regions of India were not even aware of what khadi was, why they should wear it and where to get it.
