Answer 2

Khilafat Committee was formed in 1919 in the city of Lucknow (option c)

• The Khilafat movement and the Non-Cooperation movement were two major groups formed to challenge British authority in India between 1919 and 1922.
• Turkey's Anti-British Alliance: Muslims all over the world, including India, looked up to Turkey's Sultan, Khalifa, as their spiritual leader (Caliph).
• Turkey had sided with Germany and Austria against the British during the First World War.
• Disgruntled Indian Muslims: During the First World War, Indian Muslims supported the government on the idea that the sacred sites of the Ottoman Empire would be in the hands of the Khalifa.
• However, the Ottoman Empire was divided after the war, Turkey was dismembered, and the Khalifa was deposed.
• This enraged Muslims, who saw it as a slight to the Khalifa. The Khilafat Movement was founded by the Ali brothers, Shoukat Ali and Mohammad Ali, in opposition to the British authority.
• Between 1919 and 1924, this movement took place.
• The All India Khilafat Committee, led by the Ali brothers, Maulana Abul Kalam Azad, Ajmal Khan, and Hasrat Mohani, was created in early 1919 in Lucknow to pressure the British government to modify its policy toward Turkey.
• As a result, the groundwork for a nationwide uprising was laid.
• In November 1919, an All India Khilafat Conference was held in Delhi, and a call was made to boycott British goods.

Demands of Indian Muslims: The Muslims in India wanted that the British maintain the Khalifa's jurisdiction over Muslim holy sites.

After territorial negotiations, the Khalifa should be left with enough territory.
