All-India Khilafat Committee

The All-India Khilafat Committee was established in 1919 during British rule in India, aimed at advocating for the restoration of the Ottoman Caliphate, which had been dismantled after World War I. This organization primarily represented Indian Muslims who were concerned about threats to Islamic governance and religious rights. The committee sought to unite Muslims in India and mobilize them against British colonial rule, often collaborating with the Indian National Congress. It played a significant role in the Indian independence movement by highlighting the importance of Muslim identity and solidarity in the struggle for self-determination.
