Non-Cooperation and Khilafat Movements Begin in 1920
The Non-Cooperation Movement and the Khilafat Movement both commenced in the year 1920. These two significant movements in India's struggle for independence were launched around the same time.
Movement Start Dates
The Non-Cooperation Movement was formally launched by Mahatma Gandhi in August 1920. Concurrently, the Khilafat Movement, led by leaders like the Ali brothers, gained momentum, advocating for the rights of Muslims concerning the Caliphate after World War I.
Convergence of Movements
A crucial aspect was the convergence of these movements later in 1920, particularly after the Calcutta Special Session of the Indian National Congress in September. This alliance broadened the base of the anti-British struggle, uniting different communities towards the common goal of achieving Swaraj (self-rule).
Therefore, the year 1920 marks the beginning of both the Non-Cooperation and Khilafat movements.
