Central Khilafat Committee

The Central Khilafat Committee was an organization formed in British India during the early 20th century to support the Ottoman Caliphate, which was seen as a spiritual leader for Muslims worldwide. Its main goal was to mobilize Indian Muslims in protecting the Caliphate after it was threatened post-World War I. The committee coordinated efforts, raised awareness, and fostered unity among Muslims to defend their religious and political interests. It played a significant role in the broader context of the Khilafat Movement, which aimed to preserve the Caliphate and promote Hindu-Muslim collaboration for political rights.
