Khilafat Movement and non corporation movement contribution in India independence (mahatma Gandhi)

KHILAFAT MOVEMENT 

Khilafat Movement Gandhi's influence on the Muslim population was remarkable. This was evident in his involvement in the Khilafat Movement. After the first World War, the Muslims feared for the safety of their Caliph or religious leader and a worldwide protest was being organised to fight against the collapsing status of the Caliph.Gandhi became a prominent spokesperson of the All India Muslim Conference and returned the medals he had received from the Empire during his Indian Ambulance Corps days in South Africa. His role in the Khilafat made him a national leader in no time.

NON-COOPERATION MOVEMENT 

Gandhi had realised that the British had been able to came  in India only because of the co-operation they received from the Indians. Keeping this in mind, he called for a non-cooperation movement. With the Congress' support and his indomitable spirit, he convinced people that peaceful non-cooperation was the key to Independence. The Rowlett act was passed on 21 march 1919 condemned as ‘the black act ‘ and an agitation was started in its protest. Gandhiji took this Act as an open challenge to the Indians. On 24th March 1919,Gandhi ji founded the satyagraha Sabha in Bombay and its branches were opened in Gujrat ,Sindh and many other places . It’s member took pledge to disobey the Rowlett act ,to know truth and restrain from violence. Gandhiji gave a call for an all -India hartal on 30th March which was later postponed to 6 April 1919 ,in protest of the Rowlett act. Gandhiji was arrested and his trusted volunteers could not control this mass violence.  The ominous day of Jallianwala Bagh Massacre which was occurred on 13 th April 1919 triggered the non-cooperation movement. Gandhi set the goal of Swaraj or self-governance, which since then became the motto of Indian freedom movement. But due to the Chauri Chaura incident, Mahatma Gandhi ended the movement because in this incident 23 police officials were killed. Mahatma Gandhi in March 1930 addressed the nation in a newspaper, Young India, and expressed his willingness to suspend the movement if his eleven demands get accepted by the government
