Khilafat leaders

Khilafat leaders were leaders of the Khilafat Movement in India during the early 20th century, primarily advocating for the restoration and protection of the Ottoman Caliphate after World War I. They aimed to unite Muslims in India to support the caliphate as a spiritual and political authority, emphasizing Muslim solidarity and resistance to Western imperialism. Prominent leaders like Maulana Mohammad Ali and Maulana Shaukat Ali played key roles in mobilizing communities and fostering cooperation with Indian independence efforts. Their movement symbolized Muslim identity and dignity amid changing geopolitical landscapes.
