made his own
thread with a charkha, a portable
spinning wheel.
evolved from a source of personal comfort
during captivity into a touchstone make own
homespun cloth instead of buying oppressor's goods.
spinning was so bound up with identity
had to learn
the craft before photographing
picture reading the news alongside his charkha
It soon became an indelible image, his most potent symbol
