Gandhi] Produced by sp1nd, ewkent and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at http://www.pgdp.net (This file was produced from images generously made available by The Internet Archive) "The Wheel of Fortune" by Mahatma Gandhi is a philosophical treatise written in the early 20th century. The book focuses on Gandhi's advocacy for Indian self-sufficiency through the revival of traditional handicrafts, particularly hand-spinning and weaving, as a means to combat poverty and promote economic independence. It emphasizes simplicity and self-sacrifice as vital components of India's struggle for self-rule (Swaraj). The opening of the text introduces the reader to Gandhi's vision of a new era, where societal values shift towards simplicity and self-reliance, as a reaction to the failures of modern industrial civilization. Gandhi reflects on the necessity of adopting the spinning wheel as a critical tool for empowerment, economic resilience, and national solidarity. He argues that engaging in hand-spinning not only helps alleviate poverty but also connects individuals to their cultural roots. The text serves as a call to action for all Indians, inviting them to participate in the Swadeshi movement by embracing traditional methods of production to foster both personal and national regeneration.
