What does KHADI mean in Scrabble?
noun
Indian Englishhistorical
A coarse cotton cloth traditionally hand-spun and hand-woven in India.
Khadi became a symbol of Indian self-reliance during the independence movement, when Mahatma Gandhi urged people to spin and wear khadi instead of buying imported British cloth. Producing khadi involves spinning cotton, silk or wool by hand on a simple wheel called a charkha and then weaving it on a hand loom, which gives the finished cloth its rough, uneven texture. Garments made of khadi are still worn in India today, both for their cultural associations and for practical comfort in warm weather. The word passed into English directly from Hindi with its original meaning intact.
