Question
why did gandhi change his manner of dress?
he wanted to wear clothes made only by indians.
he knew the british disliked the traditional indian dress.
the return to the hot climate of india was difficult.
he wanted people to see when he was on a hunger strike.
Gandhi's shift to simple, hand-spun Indian clothing (like the dhoti) was a deliberate political and symbolic act tied to supporting Indian cottage industries, resisting British economic exploitation, and identifying with the poor masses of India. The core motivation was to prioritize clothing made by Indians as part of the swadeshi (self-reliance) movement. The other options do not align with the primary historical reason for his dress change.
