Confusion in Khilafat movement and 1919 reforms

[guriya]

keeping in view khilafat movement and 1919 reforms what can be suggested for rawlatt act,moplah uprisings,ulema fatwa,incident of chora chori, jhalian wala baagh incident and hijrat movement?
where they can be fixed? bcoz both r merged.

1919 reforms is a separate topic and can be asked in the exam as a separate question. You can be asked to write a note on it.

But the Khilafat movement lasted from 1918-1922 and Jalian Wala Bagh, Mopla Uprising, Hijrat Movement and others occured during this period. You should focus more on the "Khilafat movement" with having good idea about the events (like Jalian Wala Bagh etc) because the latter can only be understood in a particular context. In exam, Khilafat movement question is asked from different angles and you have to change the answer according to the question. For Example

Trace the course of Khilafat movement and assess its significance for the development of Muslim nationalism? (2004)

So here, you will write first about the movement and then give a very short reference to events like Jalian Wala Bagh, Mopla Uprising, Chauri Chaura incident to signify the development of Muslim nationalism

but sir 1st if they ask a note on khilafat movement what should be written and what should be avoided?
2nd (1989)discuss the nature and purpose of the khilafat movement why it failed to achieve its desired objective? plz tell also about this question what they want us to write about.
3rd (1992) discuss the developments leading the muslims and the congress towards parting ways in the late twenties? r they asking about khilafat movement?

If the question is Note on Khilafat movement" (which to be honest wont ever come as it is too trivial)

You can write answer in simple tone like Intro, Background, Main Events and Leaders, Result, Reasons for failure etc. This is just to give you how you can write your answer. Of course you can have your own headings and order of events should you choose to

If the question is Discuss the nature and purpose of the Khilafat movement why it failed to achieve its desired objective

Then write about its intro, how the result of WWI were disastrous for Ottoman Empire and how Muslims felt insecure etc etc. And for the latter part (i-e why it failed), you can write the different intentions of the leaders. Ali brothers wanted the restoration of Khilafat while Gandhi wanted to use this movement to achieve Sawaraj. Most of the Muslim leaders were also in Jail and Gandhi called off the movement without consulting anyone etc etc. Read the detail of the movement and you will get the answer

For 3rd question, it is not just Khilafat movement. Yes it started off with Khilafat movement but there were several other events and since the question mentions "late twenties", you should write about Delhi proposals , Nehru report and Quaid's 14 points

and the last thing is that 1919 reform is also included in one of the reasons for khilafat or we dont have to include it?

1919 reforms are separate from Khilafat movement
