The Non-Cooperation Movement garnered international attention and sympathy, increasing pressure on the British government to address Indian demands for self-rule.

Khilafat Movement
The Treaty of Sèvres, which aimed to carve up the Ottoman Empire, further fueled the discontent among Muslims. The treaty proposed to place the holy city of Mecca under international control, undermining the religious significance of the Caliphate.
Indian Muslims were particularly affected by these developments as they had strong emotional and religious ties to the Ottoman Caliphate. They felt marginalized and concerned about the erosion of their religious and political identity.
The Khilafat Movement led to a sense of unity among Indian Muslims, who came together to protest against the British government's policies and support the Ottoman Caliphate. This unity had a significant impact on the political landscape of India.Later the movement merged with Mahatma Gandhi's Non-Cooperation Movement in 1920. This joint movement aimed to boycott British institutions and products, leading to mass protests and demonstrations across India.
The Khilafat Movement relied heavily on non-violent methods, including boycotts of British goods and institutions and mass protests, strikes, and demonstrations.
In addition to non-cooperation, civil disobedience was also employed as a strategy. People were encouraged to defy laws and regulations that they considered unjust.
Strategies
Indians were encouraged to boycott British institutions, including the legislatures, courts, and government functions. Elected Indian representatives resigned from their offices, refusing to cooperate with the British administration.
The movement also involved acts of civil disobedience, where people violated laws and regulations they considered unjust. This included non-payment of taxes, non-participation in government programs, and other forms of non-compliance.
Large-scale protests, rallies, and demonstrations were organized to show mass support for the movement and to put pressure on the British authorities.
One of the major economic strategies was the boycott of British-manufactured goods. Indians were urged to use domestically produced goods and discard British-made products.
