Explanation

The Khilafat Movement began in 1919 as a significant political campaign by Indian Muslims aimed at protecting the Ottoman Sultan's position as the Caliph of Islam. This movement arose in response to the post-World War I plans by the Allied powers to dismantle the Ottoman Empire, which caused concern among Indian Muslims about the future of Islamic unity. Prominent leaders of the movement included the Ali brothers, Muhammad Ali Jauhar and Shaukat Ali, along with Hakim Ajmal Khan and Abul Kalam Azad.
