Answer:

Gandhi encouraged Indians to weave their own cloth because textiles were a major source of income for Britain.

Explanation:

As a part of his non violent disobedience resistance movement, Gandhi's manner of dress were looked upon. The leader encouraged all Indians, and in particular the most privileged citizens, to follow his choice of only wearing traditional, Indian made loincloth, not only as a rejection of Western culture, but also as it would create a benefit for India's economy and its advancement for independence and self survival, as textiles have been a historical major source of income for Britain.
