The Master Jury had commented, "As Indians sitting in the midst of an emerging India, for us the story of this spinning wheel holds immense significance - from a form that transpires from the Ashok Chakra to theCharkha and that, which had imploded earlier has now exploded with vigour and vivacity to capture the dynamism of the momentum of India with the material of the future".
The 'Spinning Wheel' _ Mahatma Gandhi promoted Khadi for self-sustainability. His vision was that everyone, rich or poor should have access to food, shelter and clothing in a self reliant way. That was the Mahatma's ideology. Decentralised units of self-sustaining ecologies. Simple, long-lasting and corruption free.
The spinning wheel binds the heart of everyone in society with the common cord of social oneness.
The seeds of national and social cohesion can be sown through the music of the spinning wheel. The spiral trajectory of the proposed 'symbol' is analogous of the Spirit and Philosophical intent of the 'Spinning Wheel' and is in alignment with the Nations incredible spectrum of social and cultural dimensions echoing ideologies such as 'unity in diversity' [no two frames are identical], a self-confident resurgent nation _ balancing high end cutting-technology with a rich art-cultural heritage, lets ring home and salute Contemporary India - the dawn and emergence of a Super Power.
