Gandhi’s Silenced Opposition documents four voices — Jinnah, Besant, Pal, Das — who warned against the Khilafat alliance and Non-Cooperation in specific, documented terms. All were overridden. Jinnah was shouted down at Nagpur by a Muslim majority Gandhi’s alliance had activated. Every warning proved accurate. Every warning was silenced before it could protect the people who paid for the overriding. Part 49.
