Khilafat movement -1919
The Muslims of India had their grievances against the British.The first world was ended with the defeat of Germany along with the allies including Turkey.The ottoman empire under the Turkish sultan was broken up and the territories were shared by British and France. The Muslims in India protested against the humiliation of the Turkish Caliph, who was also their religious head.The Ali brothers - MOHAMMED ALI and SHAUKAT ALL and MAULANA ABUL KALAM AZAD organized a mass movement of the Muslims called as KHILAFAT MOVEMENT.
Gandhiji whole heartedly supported this movement ,as he felt that the Indian Muslims were genuinely aggrieved over the wrong done to Turkey. In this movement Gandhi saw an opportunity of Hindu-Muslim unity.
