Sunder Ramu Instagram – Posted @withregram • @mansworldindia “Like most boys, the first time I wore khadi was when I nicked my father’s khaddar (in Tamil) coat. My father used to say, “It’s not just a textile; it’s a symbol of strength”. And much later, as he lay in the hospital during his last days, I visited him and asked him if I could buy him a silk veshti for the Deepavali festival. He mocked me, saying, “Oh, you can buy hundreds of silks, can’t you now. There are hundreds of fathers in the world who can’t afford that. Machine-made textiles and expensive silks can’t win me over. I will always wear khadi as a symbol of an egalitarian textile and proudly so”,” says our January 2022 cover star, Kamal Haasan, talking about how khadi has been an important part of his life.
