Question

what is khilafat moment. Explain in detail​

Answer 1

Answer:

The Khilafat Movement was one of the significant movements in India’s endeavour to free herself from The British Raj. The Khilafat Movement spanned from the year 1915 to 1924. The key feature of this crusade was that it was a Pan-Islamist movement where the Muslims of the then British India allied with the Indian Nationalist against the colonizers. The various treaties of the British rendered the compromise of the Caliph in Turkey. The Khilafat Movement was an anti-British reaction in this context to that which soon found support of the Muslims of the Indian Subcontinent owing to concerns of the weakening rule of the Caliph. The Khilafat Movement saw the combined efforts of the Hindus and the Muslims under the supervision of the Indian National Congress against the British Raj. The success strengthened even more when Mahatma Gandhi decided to bring together his Non Cooperation movement along with the Khilafat Movement for the combined efforts to vocalize their collective resentment against the colonizers.
