Explanation:

▪︎Rowlatt satvagraha had been a widespread movement, it was stil limited mostly to cities and towns.

▪︎Mahatma Gandhi felt the need to launch a broad-based movement in lndia. But he was certain that no such movement could be organised without bringing the Hindus and Muslims closer together,

▪︎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 Hindus and Muslims under the umbrella of a unified national movement.
