Khilafat Movement manifesto

The Khilafat Movement was initiated in the early 20th century by Indian Muslims to protest the disintegration of the Ottoman Empire and the abolition of the Caliphate after World War I. Its manifesto aimed to preserve the Caliph’s authority, promote Muslim unity, and address grievances related to British colonial rule in India. The movement sought to mobilize support among Indian Muslims, emphasizing religious solidarity and political rights. Leaders such as Mahatma Gandhi supported it, recognizing its potential to foster Hindu-Muslim unity against colonial oppression. Ultimately, the movement highlighted the intersection of religion and politics in the struggle for independence.
