A
Sketch of Gandhi (1931)
|

|
Artists,
cartoonists and photographers found Gandhi a fascinating subject for
study in their various mediums, and he was ready to oblige them when he
had time to spare. This is a pen-and-ink sketch made while he was busy
spinning with his charkha on his visit to London for the second Round
Table Conference. He told an American journalist who interviewed him
that the message of the spinning wheel was "mass production in people's
homes. If you multiply individual production to millions of times, would
it not give you mass production on a tremendous scale?"
