How does the change in Sriram’s clothing come to reflect his adoption of Ghandi's beliefs in the book, Waiting For Mahatma: A Novel?

Sriram’s clothes at the beginning of the novel, which the reader is told were manufactured in a machine-operated mill, are a symbol of his initial apathy and his lack of involvement with Gandhi’s movement. Sriram’s decision to ditch his mill-manufactured clothes and adopt homespun ones instead reflects his adoption of Gandhi’s beliefs.
