Gandhi And The Spinning Wheel, Margaret Bourke-White, 1946
The British had held Gandhi as their prisoner at Yerwada prison in Pune, India, from 1932 to 1933. During his time in prison, Gandhi would make his own thread using a Charkha, a portable spinning wheel. Gandhi encouraged his countrymen to spin their own wheels and make their own threads instead of buying cloth from the British. Today, the Charkha of Gandhi is just as famous as the man himself.
