Directions to Solve
Mahatma Gandhi believed that industrialisation was no answer to the problems that plague the mass of India's poor and that villagers should be taught to be self-sufficient in food, weave their own cloth from cotton and eschew the glittering prizes that the 20th century so temptingly offers. Such an idyllic and rural paradise did not appear to those who inherited the reins of political power.

Mahatma Gandhi emphasised towards villagers getting skilled because he wanted villages to be self-sufficient and so it would preserve culture and beauty. The taking away of skills is an effect and not the reason for his advocating self-sufficiency.

"Mahatma Gandhi believed that industrialisation was no answer to the problems that plague the mass of India's poor and that villagers should be taught to be self-sufficient in food, weave their own cloth from cotton" - emphasises that industrialisation would take away the skill of the villagers.

Also, nothing mentioned about industrialisation destroying the beauty of life because "an idyllic and rural paradise" only means self-sufficiency in food clothes and simplicity of the lifestyle, so it is an assumption.
