Answer 2

1.) As the Rowlatt satyagraha was limited to cities and towns, Gandhiji 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 close together. So he took up the khilafat issue.

2.) A new generation of Muslim leaders like the Ali brothers, Muhammad Ali and Shaukat Ali, began discussing with Mahatma Gandhi about the possibility of a united mass action. Gandhiji saw this as an opportunity to bring the Muslims under the umbrella of a unified national movement
