Clothing : A Social History
How had the Congress leaders and Gandhiji dressed themselves?
Most of the workers/leaders of the Congress and freedom-fighters wore hand-spun (Khadi) dhoti, kurta and a Gandhi cap with locally made leather shoes or sandles.
Gandhiji dressed himself like a poor peasant-a dhoti worn upto the knee and a clock dangling at his waist and a locally made leather chappal.
