प्रथम विश्व युद्ध, खिलाफत और असहयोग आंदोलन
This Class 10 Social Science topic from Chapter 2, Nationalism in India, explains how the First World War changed India’s economy and society and intensified opposition to colonial rule. Students learn about the Khilafat issue, the alliance between the Khilafat and Congress movements, and Mahatma Gandhi’s Non-Cooperation Movement. It covers methods such as the boycott of schools, courts and foreign cloth, the movement’s spread among different groups, its limits, and the reasons for its withdrawal after the Chauri Chaura incident.
