British. The annulment from the partition of Bengal throughout
1911 was a jolt to the Muslims of India; consequently it destroyed

supervision of Jinnah made the Lucknow pact possible.

HINDU MUSLIM UNITY PERIOD


1911-1921
Hindu-Muslim strength made British realize to think about their
rights.

acceptance of Hindus.

Conclusion:

the entire political scenario regarding Indian subcontinent. But, it
was impossible to the parties to produce India a united state. The
Hindus and the Muslims are 2 different nation plus they have
different lifestyle and different views. There Civilization is
different from Muslims. Therefore the Lucknow Pact failed to
produce a long lasting assistance in India one of many Muslims and
Hindus.

presidentship connected with Sir Sydney Rowlett to research the
militant Nationalist actions therefore in 1919 he passed a Black
Law known as Rowlett Act.

and capacity to arrest people in addition to keep them in prisons
with virtually no trial if they are suspected with the charge of
terrorism. The British government also earned the facility to
refrain the newspapers from exposure and printing news. The Act
was ill famed while 'Black Act' by the people and Indians revolt in
protest up against the Rowlett Act. People could be punished
swearly and even without trials.

Jinnah Views On Rowlett Rule:

rejected the Rowlett Act. Jinnah Strictly opposed against this law as
this law would violet all the rights of Hindu and Muslims and could
make more powerful British Rule. Jinnah resigned from the central

law, because he thought this Act is a humiliating Act, violates
simple cannons of rights and fairplay.

could make more powerful British Rule. Gandhi contended that

Hindu and Muslims unitedly fought against this act and protested
as well against this Black law. This Law was strongly opposed by
the people of India because they thought the British government
can get more authority in the men and women involving of india.
The Rowlett Act started a great deal of frustration for the leaders
and widespread folks connected with India. However all the
protests did not greatly affect the British rulers as they were still
very able to control over the people of India by their power.
To attempt to end this, Gandhi along with the different
frontrunners called for a new Hartal (a period of time of starting a
fast along with suspension of work) to show the actual British the
actual Indians unhappiness and anger to this law.
Rowlett act leads to the incident of Jallianwala bagh in April 1919.

Jallianwala bagh incident but it shows the unity period of
Hindus and Muslims and their collective anger against British
government. They both Struggle against British rulers.

JallianWala Bagh Incident,April 1919:


Introduction:
This is also one of the Biggest Unity period of Hindu and
Muslims. They Show their unity against British Government
and their Black Bill.
This is one of the saddest incident in the history of Indo-Pak.

Black bill of Rowlett act Hindu and Muslims were gathered
at Bagh(a public park). More than Lack People(Both HinduMuslims) were gather there and protesting against the black
bill of British government.

Reasons For This Incident:

maturity among the Muslims and Hindus of Indo Pak.
Another big reason is that the British government prisoned a
cream leadership of Hindu and Muslims of Indo Pak . Gandhi from

HINDU MUSLIM UNITY PERIOD


1911-1921
Punjab railway station got arrested and on the contrary from
Amritsar two leaders Saifudin kitchlew and Rastian Paul got
arrested by British Government .
When people got to know the arrestment of these leaders they
started to protest against it.
British government knows the anger of Hindu and Muslims
towards the Rowlett Act so they know if they united they can do
anything.
Preciousness of time allows some duffers so they started to rob the
bank and also killed many bank managers and leads to that
incident .

Affects Of Jallianwala Bagh Incident:


Millions of people had attended the protest against British
Law even when the Government not allowed them. A British
General Dyer with his arm force came into the Jallianwala
Bagh and started shooting fires to unarmed innocent men,
women and children without any warning. Official British
government sources approximated the actual fatalities from
379, with 1, 100 hurt. City Surgeon Doctor Williams
DeeMeddy pointed out that there was 1, 526 casualties.
Nevertheless, the actual casualty variety quotation with the
Indian National Our lawmakers has been over 1, 500, having
roughly 1, 000 killed. Aside from the a lot of deaths
specifically from your shooting, numerous people perished in
stampedes on the narrow gates as well as by simply moving
in to the individual properly about the compound to flee this
shooting. Not even that, General Dyer also ordered to not to
heal wounded peoples of this incident. Think about the
rudeness and their Sternness towards the People of India. It

1911-1921
is considered one of the biggest and saddest tragedies of the
Indian History.
Due to the incident at Jallianwala Bagh people of India got
Infuriated and in many cities like Lahore, Gujranwala and in
several cities of India people started extreme protest. Due to
that reason British government apply Marshal Law in India.
Their own made fake Courts provide injustice to many people
in India. They applied punishment of life to many innocent
people and prisoned more than 400 innocent people.

Conclusion:
After this tragic event Hindus and Muslim got to know that
British government would not provide justice to them. After
this incident Hindus and Muslims started hating them and got
no mercy for British. Hindu and Muslims collectively started
protest against British Rulers and both have now no mercy
for British government . So this Jallianwala Bagh occurrence
in addition mobilized our elected representatives as well as
other organizations to go ahead of time also to move their
particular methods also to concern the guru on the British
Government. This incident actually leads to the separate
nation in future. This period actually united Hindu and
Muslims among the black policies of British government.

KHILAFAT MOVEMENT -1919:


This is also one of the period of Hindu and Muslims unity as
they both fight against the British. Gandhi started Non
cooperative Movement against British Black laws and
Muslims started their Khilafat movement because of their

HINDU MUSLIM UNITY PERIOD


1911-1921
sentiments towards Turkish Muslims. They Both put their
movement by their own way against british.

Reasons Of Khilafat Movement:


Khilafat Movement was a religio-political Movement
launched by the Muslims from the British India to the
retention from the Ottoman Caliphate or even khilafat-eUsmania and for not letting to the Muslim holy locations go
beneath control from the Non-Muslims. During the 1st World
War Turkey sided against Germany and since Germany began
to loose Turkey. Turkey also started off loosing the territory.
By the time very first World War located an end in 1918
Turkey had lost nearly all of its place. Therefore the
challenge during those times was the way the allied forces
would treat Turkey, the Ottoman Empire or even the
Khilafat-e-Usmania and most of the territory were being
occupied which Movement has been on the peak coming from
1919 to be able to 1922, eventhough it went on in the later a
long time.

Being brothers, the Indian native Muslims came to the


realization their faith based duty that can help the Muslim
land. It was the other territorial attachments based on Islam.
Another element same for the first was how the Indian
Muslims thought to be Ottoman Caliphate symbolic of unity
from the Muslim entire world as Ummah.

KHILAFAT MOVEMENT AND NON


COOPERATIVE MOVEMENT
TOGETHER(1919-1921):

HINDU MUSLIM UNITY PERIOD


1911-1921
This is also a biggest unity period of Muslims and Hindus as
they were together protested and fought against the British
Rulers.
From 1919 to 1922, British government applied some brutal
laws for the people of British India like Rowlett act and
incident of Jallianwala Bagh had leaved so many pains.
Therefore these incidents lead to the protest of two separate
issues and emerged them into a one platform. These two
movements were Khilafat movement from Muslims and NonCooperative movement from Hindus.
Although Khilafat movement is a sentimental issue towards
the Muslims and Not connected directly to the politics of
India but these two movements lead two the biggest protest
In the history of British India and showed the Hindu Muslim
Unity yet Again.

Gandhis Work:
Gandhi knows that Muslims are suffering sentimentally by
the incident of Khilafat and he also Gandhi also knows about
the ill political period of Hindus and Congress.
In that particular period Gandhi suggested Congress to stand
with the Muslims in Khilafat movement against the British
Government and he also started the Non-Cooperative
movement of Against British(Not to cooperate with British).
Many Hindu Leaders opposed the interaction with Muslims
because they think it is their religious matter but Gandhi
opposed them and made them realize that khilafat movement
and Non-Cooperative movement together will definitely work
for them.

HINDU MUSLIM UNITY PERIOD


1911-1921

CONGRESS ON KHILAFAT MOVEMENT AND NONCOOPEARTION MOVEMENT


Gandhi started to think of this started to lauch a movement
called Non cooperative movement in support of Muslims
which will definitely help Hindus as well to destroy the
British Ruling. Many Congress leaders were opposed of this
idea because they dont want to alliance with Muslims in their
Religious Matter but Gandhi made them realize that this is
also important for Hindus for many reasons such as:
It had been experienced that was the golden opportunity to
concrete floor Hindu-Muslim oneness and also to deliver Muslim
world into your nationwide activity.
The nation's lawmakers seemed to be shedding religion in
constitutional have difficulty, particularly as soon as the Punjab
situations plus the blatantly partisan Seeker Fee Statement.

MUSLIM LEAGUE SUPPORT FOR


CONGRESS -1920:
After all of the sudden incidents Muslim League Also decided to
give their support to congress and support them politically

JUNE 1920:
In June 1920, in All india party conference held at Allahabad

British Government with educational facilities, schools along with
law process of law, along with requested Gandhi to steer that.

HINDU MUSLIM UNITY PERIOD


1911-1921
At the particular program inside Calcutta, this The legislature
okayed some sort of non-cooperation program until this Punjab in
addition to Khilafat errors ended up taken off in addition to swaraj
seemed to be founded.

AUGUST 1920:
The actual Khilafat Panel started a campaign associated with noncooperation and the movement was formally presented.

Moplahs Uprising -1921:


This period is also an Hindu Muslim Unity period as in this period
Local Hindus of Malabar and Moplahs Both Work Together against
Hindu landlords and Police. This movement is the extended
version of the Khilafat movement .

This kind of episode took place in 1921. Moplahs had been the
descendents of the Arab-speaking Muslims and were living there
even before the arrival of Muhammad Bin Qasim in Asia. Within
May 1921, they revolted towards Hindu landlords as their remedy
has been very crazy together. The matter was not the non secular.
The uprising has been against the injustice, against the suffering
which the Moplahs had been facing from Hindu Landlords. The
Hindu landlords played brutally with them therefore they revolted
law enforcement needed along side it on the landlords. The Best
Part of this movement is that the local Hindu unions began to
project to the seeing that the type of Hindu Muslim matter as this is
not the only Moplahs matter but the hindus of kerela also
suffering with this landlords. So There seemed to be plenty of
propaganda against the Muslims with regards to this particular
uprising and also there have been phone calls via some of the
Hindu businesses for you to wake up towards to take care of the

HINDU MUSLIM UNITY PERIOD


1911-1921
process that was promising Later on this particular conflict
modified seeing that Moplahs versus law enforcement and also
Hindu. This kind of embittered the Hindu-Muslim relations. This
kind of uprising experienced a damaging influence on the Hindu
Muslim oneness that had been being shown inside Khilafat Activity.
The nation's lawmakers get together as well as the Khilafat Panel
had been very cooperative and also had been working together.
The Muslim commanders had been handling meetings in addition
to Gandhi among others, so that it has been a new extraordinary
display involving Hindu Muslim oneness which cooperative feeling
has been undermined simply by this particular episode.

END OF ARTICLE:
Conclusion From The Period:
Well this is the most significant period for both Muslims and
Hindus and proved to be the Period of Unity. They both
fought for their rights. They created the pressure against
British government .They both got hurt after the Jallianwala
Bagh incident and both fought for their justice. They both
showed harmony against the British rulers. British rulers
almost violated all the rights of Muslims and Hindus but they
both stood up with their leaders and work hard for their
Rights. This is what unity gives.
As a poet quoted Unity is Strength.
