RE:RE:Islam spread by force only...

The motion that was started is called as the Khillafat movement. Congress failed to understand one important aspect of this protest, which is the Khilafat movement has nothing to do with the freedom struggle. The Khilafat movement, further enraged muslims to become biased towards their religion, rather than the nation, which ultimately lead to the division of India.

Khilafat movement went for 4 yrs from 1919-1923 and for these 4 years, muslims were fed with their religious beliefs, which continued to act as a catalyst for seperatian mind-set of the muslims. During this movement, the path that was chosen by congress was the %u201Caminity of the Hindu-Muslims%u201D throughout the history. They were not involved in altering the history of India intially, but rather, they were quiet on the ages of oppression, but this path. when muslims were not shown of their evil deeds, didn%u2019t gave them a chance to repent. Muslims felt more alienated in their own country, due to the continuous feeding of the religious text.
