Mahatma Gandhi believed that industrialisation was no answer to the problems that plagued the mass of India's poor and that villagers should be taught to be self-sufficient in food, weave their own cloth from cotton and eschew the glittering prizes that the 20th century so temptingly offers. Such an idyllic and rural paradise did not appear to those who inherited the reins of political power.

replacement of rural by urban interests
