capitalist claims that only they have right to get the surplus value or benefit gained in the factories because they provide the capital needed for the management of factory work. But Karl Marx is of opinion that only capital cannot produce anything till labours do not work in the factories. The benefit is obtained due to both capital and labour. Therefore labours have equal right of receiving benefit. They cannot be neglected. The benefit or surplus value should be divided equally between capitalists or factory owners and labours.
The Silka is quite famous in cloths. It is preferred in religious performances. It is considered pure and pious more than other cloths. At the time of religious performances conduced by rich persons, the priests normally use śilken dresses. The silk is produced by killing the worms which are tamed purposely for silk. The Silk production cannot be possible without killing Silk-worms. So the Silk production is fully injurious, but it is wonderful that even after being injurious, it is used in religious function.
Mahatma Gandhi a strong propounder of the theory of nonviolence, in the modern age, has layed stress on the Khādi-Production. He has assigned that Khādi is not only a type of cloth, but it is way of living, Khādi is a practical form of non-violence which is the only basis of freedom. According to Gandiji India has obtained freedom due to non-violence only. But Gandhi Aśramas, the centres of Gandhian-Productions, produce silk also which is a direct injury. So question arises - why Gandhi Aśramas established by Mahatma Gandhi are interested in producing silk. Gandhiji himself has never supported the use of Silk. In his opinion one should have cloth as much as the share of the total cloth production is allotted to him. The share may be decided on the basis of total production of cloths and the population of country. For poor people of India use of silk is a luxury. Gandhiji has ever supported necessity he has never thought of luxury. The followers of Gandhiji have neglected Gandhian nonviolence and with a view to make money, to earn foreign currencies and to come in the competition of world market, have included silk in Gandhian-Productions.
