Khadi was coarse, white homespun cloth. So due to social norms regarding married women Sarojini Naidu nad Kamala Nehru did not wear Khadi saris but coloured saris with designs.

The factors which contributed to the decline of the India textile industry were:
(i) British occupation of India.
(ii) After the industrial revolution in Britain cheap machine made cloth not compete with goods produced on a mass scale.
(iii) The high import duties and other restrictions imposed on Indian textiles by the British rulers worked to the disadvantage of the Indian textiles.
(iv) To meet the growing demand of British industries the English used their political control to reduce India to the level of exporter of raw materials (e.g., cotton and indigo) and importer of finished goods.

(i) Political control helped the British. India peasants could be forced to grow crops like indigo and cheap British manufacturers easily flooded the Indian market and replaced Indian textiles.
(ii) High import duties, and other restrictions imposed on Indian textiles by the British, worked to the disadvantage of Indian textiles.
(iii) India was reduced to the level of exporter of raw cotton instead of textiles. India was forced to export her raw cotton, to feed British textile mills, while the Indian weavers remained started of good quality raw cotton. Large number of Indian weavers and spinners were left without work. Important textile weaving centers like Murshidabad, Machilipatnam and Surat declined as demand fell.

(iii) When in 1862, Manockjee Cowasjee Entee refused to take off his shoes in the court of the sessions judge, he was barred entry into the courtroom. Manockjee protested against his exclusion with the Bombay Governor.

Governor General Lord Dalhousie in mid nineteenth century made 'shoe respect' rule stricter for the Indians.
