All-India Khilafat Conference

The All-India Khilafat Conference was a significant political gathering held in the early 20th century to support the Ottoman Caliphate after World War I. It aimed to mobilize Indian Muslims to oppose the disintegration of the Ottoman Empire and defend the Caliphate's authority. The conference unified various Muslim organizations across India, advocating for Muslim rights and religious unity. It also played a key role in the broader Indian independence movement by promoting cooperation between Muslims and Hindus, fostering a sense of collective identity and political activism against colonial rule.
