"I celebrate Indian summers and cotton industry with my #CottonIsCool look. What is your #CottonIsCool look?!" Ms Irani tweeted some four hours before writing this. Her tweet has since collected over 2,600 'likes' and more than 600 retweets.
The textiles minister began the campaign by tweeting that India is among the largest cotton producing countries in the world.
Several people have joined Ms Irani's campaign as many are posting their own pictures with #CottonIsCool. Among them are actor-parliamentarian Hema Malini, former Indian opener and current Twitter king Virender Sehwag, Railways Minister Suresh Prabhu, cricketer Mohammad Kaif and many more.
