What Is Khilafat Movement??

Khilafat Movement Khilafat Movement (1919-

1924) was a significant Islamic movement organized by the Ali brothers- Mohammed Ali and Shaukat Ali in India during the British rule. 

This was an attempt by the Indian Muslim community to unite together in support of the Turkish Empire ruled by the Khalifa (Ottoman Sultan), which was attacked by European powers.

Ottoman Sultan

Introduction

The Muslims considered the

Khalifa as the custodian

("protector“/ "helper") of Islam.

They simply could not digest

his dethronement (To remove

from the throne; depose).

Under the leadership of

prominent Muslim leaders,

notable one being Maulana

Abdul Kalam Azad, they

launched the Khilafat

Movement in most parts of

North India.

Main objective.

The Khilafat M

ovement, aimed against t

he

British government, r

eceived the support

of Mahatma Gandhi, w

ho related his Non

Corporation Movement with it.

The main objective behind this m

ove was to

enlist the su

pport of th

e Muslim community

into his movement, w

hich addressed the

issue of ‘S

waraj’ (Self-G

overnment)

By mid-1920 the Khilafat le

aders assu

red full

support to the non-violent m

ethods of

Gandhi, which facilita

ted the establish

ment of

a united front of H

indus and Muslim

s against

the British government.

This c

ombined force formed a major threat to

the British rule.

Conclusion The Khilafat Movement however

did not last long. Owing to some violent incidents in

the country which resulted in the deaths of many Indian and British people, Mahatma Gandhi called off his Non Cooperation Movement.

This was a major jolt to the Khilafat Movement.

The movement received its final blow in March 1924, when the original Khilafat movement in Turkey was abolished following the Islamic country’s conversion from a Sultanate empire to a Republic.
