The examiner expects you to state the core reason: Hindu-Muslim unity. Gandhi saw the Khilafat grievance (defence of the Caliph/Ottoman Caliphate, sacred to Muslims) as an opportunity to bring both communities together into a single anti-colonial struggle. Just naming "Hindu-Muslim unity" or "broader mass participation" earns the mark. Avoid writing more than one line for a 1-mark question.
