Summary

"The Wheel of Fortune" by Mahatma Gandhi is a compelling exploration of how India can achieve independence through self-reliance. It highlights Gandhi's belief in the power of traditional crafts, and his call for Indians to revive hand-spinning and weaving to fight poverty and build a strong, independent economy. Gandhi paints a picture of a future shaped by simplicity, sacrifice, and a rejection of industrial excess, urging everyone to embrace the spinning wheel as a tool for personal and national renewal, linking them to their heritage while creating solidarity.
