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.
