Q.

Read the source given below and answer:


While the Rowlatt Satyagraha had been a widespread movement, it was still limited mostly to cities and towns. Mahatma Gandhi now felt the need to launch a more broad-based movement in India. But he was certain that no such movement could be organised without bringing the Hindus and Muslims closer together. One way of doing this, he felt, was to take up the Khilafat issue. The First World War ended with the defeat of Ottoman Turkey. And there were rumours that a harsh peace treaty was going to be imposed on the Ottoman emperor, the spiritual head of the Islamic world (the Khalifa). To defend the Khalifa's temporal powers, a Khilafat Committee was formed in Bombay in March 1919. A young generation of Muslim leaders like the brothers Muhammad Ali and Shaukat Ali began discussing with Mahatma Gandhi the possibility of united mass action on the issue. 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 of the need to start a non-cooperation movement in support of Khilafat as well as for Swaraj.

Detailed Solution

The incorrect statement is In the Nagpur session, Gandhi succeeded in convincing the Congress leaders to support the Khilafat issue. The Khilafat movement was introduced to oblige the British government to retain the Ottoman Sultan's authority as Caliph of Islam following the Ottoman Empire's bifurcation at the war's end. The Indian Khilafat Committee is made up of Lucknow by leaders like Muhammad Ali, Shaukat Ali, Maulana Azad, Hasrat Mohani, and numerous others. It's also a time of Hindu-Muslim unity due to the fragmentation of the Non-Aligned Movement and the Khilafat. Leaders of the Khilafat Movement have joined hands with the Indian National Congress in the forthcoming non-cooperation crusade. March 19, 1920, was declared the Day of Khilafat and was followed by the June 1920 general conference in Allahabad. The docket of the Non-cooperation Movement was perfected.
