What was Gandhi's main political understanding in linking the Khilafat issue with Indian nationalism?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Religious political concern could be linked with anti-colonial protest and swaraj
The governing idea was political alliance and broader mobilisation. Gandhi understood that the Muslim concern about the future of the Caliphate could be joined with opposition to British rule and the demand for swaraj. This connection encouraged Hindu-Muslim cooperation and widened the movement’s social base. Thus option A is correct; the other options contradict the purpose of the alliance.
