The Non-Cooperation Movement was launched along with which ongoing movement?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
The correct answer is Option (3) → Khilafat Movement
To broaden his campaign of non-cooperation, Gandhiji joined hands with the Khilafat Movement, which sought to restore the Caliphate.
NCERT (2026-27): “2.1 Knitting a popular movement … Emboldened by its success, Gandhiji called for a campaign of ‘non-cooperation’ with British rule. Indians who wished colonialism to end were asked to stop attending schools, colleges and law courts, and not pay taxes. In sum, they were asked to adhere to a ‘renunciation of (all) voluntary association with the (British) Government’. If non-cooperation was effectively carried out, said Gandhiji, India would win swaraj within a year. To further broaden the struggle he had joined hands with the Khilafat Movement that sought to restore the Caliphate, a symbol of Pan-Islamism which had recently been abolished by the Turkish ruler Kemal Attaturk.” |
