The Story of My Experiments with Truth Part 5, Chapter 36 Summary

The Khilafat Against Cow Protection?

  • Gandhi attends a conference of Hindus and Muslims. The conference is to discuss the establishment of a Khilafat for the Muslims and the ending of cow slaughter by Muslims to benefit the Hindus.
  • But, Gandhi says the two questions shouldn't be mixed but each evaluated on its own merits.
  • Giving a speech to the conference, Gandhi uses the term "non-cooperation" for the first time. It means not cooperating with the government you're protesting by giving up government jobs, for example.
