Salman-SRK to PM Modi: The humble gamchha is ready for world domination

When he began his ascension to the throne of Dilli, Narendra Modi brought some sheen to the humble half-sleeve kurta. By the time he won the 2014 election handsomely, the kurta came to be known as Modi kurta. But as we approach the next big battle in 2019, Prime Minister Modi is making an unlikely accessory the next sartorial star. The gamchha, gamucha, gomcha... however you spell it, the multipurpose piece of cloth, often chequered and sometimes plain, has cast a spell on the leader of the nation. In his recent exercise routine video, he was seen with one. And on International Yoga Day, he was lost in asanas with the gamchha around his neck. His favourite clearly is the Ahomiya red and white.
