Ali Brothers (Mohammad Ali and Shaukat Ali)

The Ali Brothers, Mohammad Ali and Shaukat Ali, were prominent Indian nationalist leaders in the early 20th century. They played a key role in the Indian independence movement, advocating for self-rule and mobilizing Muslims in India to unite for national causes. They founded the Khilafat Movement to protect the Ottoman Caliphate after World War I, which became a significant effort to rally Muslim support nationwide. Their leadership helped strengthen opposition to British colonial rule, emphasizing religious and political unity. They remain respected figures in India’s history for their contributions to India's quest for independence and promoting communal harmony.
