Answer:
The
Khilafat Movement was launched by Muhammad Ali and Shaukat AIL Gandhiji saw
this as an opportunity to bring Muslims under the umbrella of a unified National
Movement.
At the Calcutta Session of the Congress in September 1920, he convinced
other leaders to start a Non-Cooperation Movement in support of Khilafat Movement.
The Khilafat Movement (1919-1924), was a pan-Islamic, political
protest campaign launched by Muslims in British India to influence the British
Government and to protect the Ottoman empire during the aftermath of First
World War. The First World War had ended with the defeat of Ottoman Turkey.
There was a fear that the power of the spiritual head of
the Islamic world (Khalifa) would be curtailed. To defend his power, a Khilafat
Committee was formed in Bombay in 1919. The Khilafat leaders put pressure upon
the British Government to give better treatment to Turkey.
