Answer» Correct Answer - Option 2 : Khilafat Movement

The correct answer is Khilafat Movement.

  • The Indian Muslim movement (1919–24) also known as Khilafat movement, was a pan-Islamist political outcry instigated by Muslims of British India which was lead by Shaukat Ali, Maulana Mohammad Ali Jauhar, Hakim Ajmal Khan and Abul Kalam Azad.
  • This movement was launched to restore the caliph of the Ottoman Caliphate, who was regarded as the leader of Sunni Muslims.
  • It was a protest to encounter the prohibition laid down on the caliph and the Ottoman Empire after the First World War by the treaty of Sèvres.

  • The  Khilafat Movement crumbled by late 1922 when Turkey attained a more commending diplomatic position and moved towards secularism
  •  In 1924 Turkey simply put an end to the role of the caliph.
  • The Khilafat Movement was not a religious movement to its founders but a way to show solidarity with their fellow Muslim brothers in Turkey.
