Answer:
Mahatma
Gandhi's dream of clothing the nation in khadi appealed only to some sections
of India because
(i)Nationalists like Motilal Nehru,
Sarojini Naidu, Kamala Nehru adopted Indian clothes but not the coarse
homespun.
(ii) Those who had been deprived of proper dress by caste norms for
centuries were attracted to Western dress styles.
Nationalists, like Babasaheb Ambedkar never gave up his
Western style suit.
(iii) Earlier, many Dalits and other so called subordinate
classes were prevented from dressing like upper castes. They now started
experimenting and wearing Western clothes and did not favour Khadi.
(iv) Khadi was expensive and the poor could not afford it.
(v) Khadi was usually white and in India white clothes are
worn when there is a death. So, Khadi was adopted by not many people, but only
by some sections of Indians who believed in nationalism.
