Mahatma Gandhi had a central role in the juxtaposition of the Khilafat Movement with India's freedom struggle, primarily the Non Cooperation Movement. Mahatma Gandhi had already materialized his 'Satyagraha', the non-violent civil resistant nationalist movement mostly on account of the various inhuman acts of repression by the British Government such as the Rowlatt Act of 1919 , the imposition of Marshall Law in Punjab in 1919 and subsequently, the Jalianwallah Bahg Massacre of Aril 1919 among the others. Mahatma Gandhi saw the Khilafat Movement as a brilliant opportunity to bring together the Hindus and the Muslims and their respective causes against one common authority of exploitation and domination. Gandhiji hence, wholeheartedly supported the Khilafat Movement and himself became a member of the Central Khilafat Committee. In 1920 , during the Nagpur Session of the Indian National Congress, Mahatma Gandhi linked the proposal of self-govemment better known as 'Swaraj' with the Khilafat concerns and demands and adopted the non-cooperation plan to accomplish the twin objectives.
