HERE IS YOUR ANSWER


The circumstances that led to this alliance can be divided into domestic front and foreign front. At domestic front, the 1916 Lucknow Pact had gained strength as the war drew to a close. Indians had cooperated British in their war effort {WW-I} expecting constitutional reforms in post-war scenario. However, what they got were Rowlatt Act, Jallianwala etc. Thus, there was mass discontent. However, mass mobilization of Muslims was yet not possible in India. At foreign front, the Treaty of Sevres and fear of Ottoman Sultan losing independence, and subsequent removal of Caliph as head of Islamic world stimulated first mass movement among Muslims. With this, all kinds of “Indian Muslims” from conservative Deobandis to Western-educated Aligarh graduates get closest ever to Gandhi, who had condemned the British treatment of Turkey.
