Ghandi does not reject machinery as such. He observes: How can I be against all machinery, When I know that even this body is a most delicate piece of machinery ? The spinning wheel is a machinery, a little tooth-pick is a machine. What I object to is the craze for machinery not machinery as such. The craze is for what they call labour saving machinery. Men go on "Saving Labour " till thousands are without work and thrown on the open streets to die of starvation. I want to save time and labour not for a fraction of mankind but for all. I want the concentration of wealth, not in the hands of a few but in the hands of all. Today machinery merely helps a few to ride on the back of millions. The impetus behind it all is not the philanthropy to save labour but greed. it is against this constitution of things that I am fighting with all my limbs of man. factories run by power driven machinery should be nationalized, self-controlled. The Supreme consideration is man.
