Deshasevika
Description
In the early twentieth century, hundreds of new textile mills began to emerge in India. This advertisement depicts a new Indian woman. She is politically minded and stands beside a label that states that 'the financier and owners of this mill are Indian and...it operates as per Mahatma Gandhi's directive clearly linking industrialisation with the project of nationalism.'
