Khilafat Delegation

The Khilafat Delegation was a group formed in the early 1920s in India to support the Ottoman Empire's caliphate, which was under threat after World War I. Indian Muslims, led by figures like Mahatma Gandhi and the Ali brothers, sought to protect the Islamic authority of the caliph, who represented unity for Muslims worldwide. The delegation traveled to London to present their concerns to the British government, emphasizing the importance of the caliphate. Their efforts aimed to highlight Muslim grievances and foster unity among Muslims in India against colonial rule.
