Talk:Khadi

message: * This had something to do with Industrial Revolution in Manchester. The raw cotton was being exported from India. This was turned into cotton cloth and that cotton cloth was being sold to people in India. The resulting value addition in the cloth was draining the local economy. The concept was of making a village self-dependent ("swavlambi"). This way, a village does not have to depend for basic necessities coming from outside the village. This would promote local economy. People would not have to leave village in order to look for way to make living. 
* For quite a while some schools used to have spinning classes as a part of study. Where students learned to spin thread from cotton and weave khadi clothes. The school supply stores (called book stores in India) used to carry cotton (pooni) as one of their merchandise items.Npindia 22:37, 24 January 2006 (UTC)

message: From October 4, 2005, until now (July 5, 2013), this page has claimed that khadi was used in the costuming of some characters in the Star Wars prequels. However, the claim was inserted by an IP (DIFF), and a source has never been supplied. Furthermore, there are a lot of mentions of khadi in Star Wars in the news since 2005, but I have been unable to find any from before 2005, or any mention in books. It seems possible that this is a rumor started by Wikipedia. Is there someone with knowledge of khadi, or good access to Star Wars information, who could supply a source? At what point do we delete this claim if it lacks sourcing? -- Presearch (talk) 21:16, 5 July 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: I put a question about the above issue at the Wikiproject Star Wars - DIFF - and no-one ever responded. This claim appears unsourcable, and I will remove it until such time as a source should ever turn up. -- Presearch (talk) 03:06, 29 January 2014 (UTC)
thread_title:  Problematic Star Wars costuming claim: worth deleting? 

message: This article starts out saying "Khadi /.../ is a term for /.../ cloth /.../ primarily made out of cotton", but then goes on to say "The cloth is primarily woven from Hemp [sic!] and may also include silk, or wool, which are all spun into yarn on a spinning wheel called a charkha."
The reference to hemp was added anonymously from IP address 155.140.133.249 on Nov 4, 2014. Is it bogus?

message: This article is wrong, because khadi is a cloth making machine, and khaddar is a type of cloth, seriously, i know.—Constanstin 06:52, 25 July 2016 (UTC)

message: wants to use ISO for pronunciation, I feel IAST is more appropriate given the fact that Khadi is a Sanskrit originated word. Please discuss here so we can reach consensus. 17:59, 26 October 2020 (UTC)
thread_title:  IAST vs ISO 

message: Some aggressive editor(s) with the Indian POV have edit warred here to use  for romanization. They are ill-informed as it is and can only be used for Sanskrit words in that very same language, not for any other language Indic or otherwise (see the template's documentation and usage guidelines).  provides the rationale that even Sanskrit should be transliterated with it, not using the earlier template as that either transcludes or redirects back to :Template:transl (although the code "IAST" can be used as a variable to specify that the language being transliterated is Sanskrit). It is clearly stated in the generally-accepted and official guideline page Wikipedia:Indic transliteration that ISO 15919 should be used for the transliteration of South Asian languages or Indic scripts. Just to be clear, ISO 15919 is supported as the transliteration system by the template "transl", and not "IAST".  Idell (talk) 21:43, 16 February 2021 (UTC)
