The First World War, Khilafat, and Non-Cooperation
प्रथम विश्व युद्ध, खिलाफत और असहयोग आंदोलन
In this Class 10 Social Science topic from Chapter 2, Nationalism in India, students examine how the First World War changed India’s economy and society, intensified public hardship, and encouraged political mobilisation. They learn about the Khilafat issue, the alliance between the Khilafat and Congress movements, Mahatma Gandhi’s idea of non-cooperation, and the participation of different social groups. The topic also explains why the movement was withdrawn after the Chauri Chaura incident and how these developments shaped India’s struggle for independence.
