Question

Why did Gandhi ask the Indian National Congress to support the Khilafat Movement?

• A. To help Turkey.
• B. To avoid a world war.
• C. To promote communalism.
• D. To promote Hindu-Muslim unity.

Answer 1

The correct option is D To promote Hindu-Muslim unity.

Gandhiji requested the Indian National Congress to support the Khilafat Movement to promote Hindu-Muslim unity. The organisation agreed, and the Khilafat movement acquired more strength. Gandhi then realised that there was no prospect of getting any fair treatment at the hands of the British.
