Answer 2

During 1919-22, the British were opposed through two mass movements i.e. the Khilafat and Non-cooperation. Though the two movements emerged from separate issues, they adopted a common program of action--that of non-violent non-cooperation.
The Khilafat issue was not directly linked to Indian politics but it provided the immediate background to the movement and gave an added advantage of cementing Hindu-Muslim unity against the British.
The important leaders of these movements were Shaukat Ali and Muhammad Ali, Maulana Azad, Ajmal Khan.
