Read the source given below and answer the questions that follow:

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 organized 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 had 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 about the possibility of a 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.
