OCR: Revival of the Spinning-wheel, for Gandhiji, was the revival of village economy. It is the pivot of village industries. According to him if the charkha does not ply in the seven lakh villages of India, the other village industries cannot flourish. In his words "The charkha is the sun while the other village industries are the planets revolving around it. IF the sun should become extinct, the planets cannot go on, for they depend on the sun." "If India's villages are to live and prosper, the charkha must become universal," he adds.
