Khilafat Jail Conspiracy

The Khilafat Jail Conspiracy was a political agitation in British India during the early 1920s, where nationalist leaders accused the British authorities of unjustly imprisoning Indian political activists involved in the Khilafat Movement. This movement aimed to protect the Ottoman Caliphate, which many Indians saw as a symbol of Islamic unity. The conspiracy allegations suggested that the British intentionally targeted and imprisoned key leaders to weaken Indian resistance. The controversy heightened tensions between Indian nationalists and the British government, fueling the broader struggle for independence.
