Name the symbol of freedom movement that could make the poor to earn supplementary income and make them self-reliant.
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
The correct answer is Option (1) → Charkha
Mahatma Gandhi was profoundly critical of the modern age in which machines enslaved humans and displaced labour. He saw the charkha as a symbol of a human society that would not glorify machines and technology. The spinning wheel, moreover, could provide the poor with supplementary income and make them self-reliant.
