Explanation

G.V. Joshi attended the 1903 Imperial Durbar in Delhi dressed in handspun khadi as a form of protest against British rule and economic exploitation. This was an early expression of the swadeshi sentiment that Gandhi would later transform into a mass movement. His protest at this grand ceremony symbolizing British imperial power was a bold statement.
