What was the name of the movement started by Khan Abdul Gaffar Khan against British?

The answer is A) Red Shirt. Khan Abdul Ghaffar Khan, the Frontier Gandhi, founded the Khudai Khidmatgar (Servants of God) in 1929 in the North-West Frontier Province. Its volunteers wore red uniforms, so the British and the press called the movement Red Shirts. It combined nonviolence with anti-colonial mobilisation among Pashtuns and stood firmly with the Congress during the Non-Cooperation and Civil Disobedience movements.

• Quit India (1942) was launched by the Congress after Gandhi's call at the AICC session in Bombay. It was not Ghaffar Khan's movement.
• Khilafat (1919-1924) was a Muslim-led agitation over the Ottoman caliphate, led prominently by the Ali brothers and joined by Gandhi. It was not named after Ghaffar Khan.
• None of the above is wrong because Red Shirt is the recognised name of his movement.

Link this to the Mains theme of nonviolence in the freedom struggle and the regional dimensions of the national movement. The Khudai Khidmatgar's boycott of the 1947 NWFP referendum is also a useful Partition-era point.

Trap: Aspirants often pick Quit India because Ghaffar Khan was a Congress leader and 1942 is the famous mass movement. The Khudai Khidmatgar had its own identity, separate from the Congress campaigns.
