Charkhā (English spelling)

Japanese: チャルカー(英語表記)charkhā
Charkhā (English spelling)
It means a spinning wheel in Hindi. During the Indian independence movement, M. Gandhi used one to preach the rejection of foreign-made cloth and foreign-style clothing, and the dedication to hand spinning and hand weaving. This was a rediscovery of something Indian, and appealed to the national consciousness of the people. It has become the banner of the Indian National Congress.
