Khadi cloth, relating it to the buddhist economy

We did a reading on buddhist economics last class. This made us really understand more about khadi cloth as we felt like the ideas of Buddhist economics really linked together, The only difference between them is that the Buddhist economy is against women working as they are meant to take care of their children and raise them .
The buddhist economics basically followed almost all the principles and ideas of the buddhist religion alone.
Buddhist economics :
Doing work of labour is about getting a better personality, delivering a finished work .
It is considered to be more humanitarian if you are very committed and loyal to your work.
They believe that if you work hard and do good in your work, it will pay off by giving you a better life in all your  personal needs like nourishing your body. This is very similar to the idea of Buddhism alone where they believe that if you do good, all the good will be returned to you someday.
We also related our reading and did a comparative to modern  economics. for modern economists, work is about how much you gain out of it or earn out of it. Buddhist economy believes in doing well with work or earning but  their main aim is about liberating yourself. They believe in living the simple way of life  without thinking about the benefits of really doing something.
Buddhist economics also takes huge concerns about being cautious about every move they make, even regarding things about the environmental issues. They believe in being very humble.Their aim is to be happy or content by minimum usage of things.
Modern economics encourage consumption, they believe that the more the consumption the better as it would increase the demand for things therefore increasing the production of the goods and earning more of an income.
You can see the impact the ideas of the religion alone has on the bud hist economy.
I feel like the ideas about khadi regarding the movement it created is very similar to that of the ideas in the buddhist economy.
Khadi cloth played a huge role in india during the time before independence and post it.
Khadi helped unite people in india.
Gandhi needed a way to unite a huge nation like india through a medium and khadi was the medium in which everyone could relate to and work with.
People started weaving their own clothes through khadi. Khadi cloth gave the people an identity. Although khadi also helped poeple under poverty and helped them in self sustainability,
More than anything, it was about having a connection with the idea of khadi.

SPEAKING TO PEOPLE ABOUT KHADI :
I tried asking my parents about khadi and what they felt about it but unfortunately they both could not relate to it much.
My mom is originally japanese and she works with japanese people for tourism so she related herself at a foreigners point of view and said that khadi seems to represent india or gives out an image of india. So there are apparently official stores my mom knows of that sell khadi and it fascinates her and people to buy them. So in her point of view khadi is nothing more than a fabric that's very commercial now.

I spoke to my friend Hansa's mom - Anuradha grover.
She loves khadi fabric, She was mainly influenced by khadi because of her father. He felt like he was very attatched to the fabric as it represented india. He felt that it was important to still respect the good changes or impact that this fabric had brought to the country. So he felt that it was important to wear khadi cloth for the kind of identity it has. Wearing khadi made him proud.
whereas, Anuradha aunty felt like khadi was just really comfortable to wear. Khadi started becoming a trend when she was studying in college and they were being sold in different bright and fun colours to adjust to the the taste of youngsters. So khadi was a very popular fabric in everyone's outfit.
