Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Gobindram Oodeyram

Jaipur c. 1905 Collotype Divided back 13.80x8.90cm

While this postcard published in Jaipur may have had nothing directly to do with the Swadeshi movement then taking off in Bengal, the charkha was am emblem of that cause for self-sufficiency and using indigenous materials and processes instead of foreign-owned and produced materials. Some 25 or so years later, around 1930, Gandhi made the charkha an even greater national symbol of emancipation from colonial rule. This connotation may have had something do with this postcard's popularity.
Date c. 1905
