Food is something you can make but you always have to depend on someone for your clothes. With this concept Gandhiji spun the Charkha(spinning wheel), every day for 1 hour beginning usually at 4 am in the early morning. In 1918 Mahatma Gandhi opened his movement for Khadi (type of cloth) as a relief program for the poor masses living in India’s villages. Spinning and weaving was elevated to an ideology for self-reliance and self-governance. I want to let people know the value of charkha in this era as it is not just a hobby but it is a honorable occupation. And to maintain this we all have encourage this original dying tool. We don’t know but there are so many people who wear ?Khadi (type of cloth) which is made out of charkha. This is what Mahatma Gandhi said about ?Khadi: It is the Sun of the village solar system. The planets are the various industries which can support Khadi in return for the heat and the sustenance they derive from it. Without it other industries cannot grow. But during my last tour I discovered that, without the revival of other industries, Khadi cannot make further progress

Beyond being breathtaking, the Ladakh valley was once underwater. This is where the Indian subcontinent collided with the Eurasian continent to form the Himalayas.
