- Kailash Satyarthi wore this garment to receive the Nobel Peace Prize in Oslo in 2014. It is a khadi kurta, a traditional shirt of hand-spun and hand-woven cotton fabric. Khadi was also the name of a movement that the Indian leader Mahatma Gandhi began in the 1920s and which campaigned for domestically-produced goods and reduced imports. When Kailash Satyarthi visited the Nobel Prize Museum in Stockholm a few days after the Nobel Peace Prize award ceremony in Oslo, he donated his khadi to the museum.
