pls explain KHILAFAT AGITATION

KHILAFAT AGITATION:-This was the movement which was started in1921 along with the movement of NON COOPERATION in India.This movement was started to defend Khalifa's power.

When Ottoman Turkey,the Khalifa (spiritual haed of Islamic world) was defeated in 1st WW there were rumors that a harsh peace treaty wa going to be imposed on him and all his powers to be taken away.Therefore to defend Khalifa's temporal powers a Khilafat Committee was formed in Bombay by young leaders like brothers Muhammad Ali and Shokat Ali.They talked with Mahatma Gandhi about a cumulative agitation or movement by Hindus and Muslims.Gandhiji was already looking up for such an opportunity.So, he convinced all other leaders of Congress about a jointed movement against Britishers in support of Khilafat as well as Non-Cooperation.

Thanks.

The Khilafat movement (1919-1924) was an agitation by Indian Muslims allied with Indian nationalism in the years following World War I. Its purpose was to pressure the British governmentto preserve the authority of the Ottoman Sultan as Caliph of Islam following the breakup of the Ottoman Empire at the end of the war. Integral to this was the Indian Muslims’ desire to influence the treaty-making process following the war in such a way as to restore the 1914 boundaries of the Ottoman Empire, even though the Turks, allies of the Central Powers, had been defeated in the war. Indian supporters of the Khilafat cause sent a delegation to London in 1920 to plead their case, but the British government treated the delegates as quixotic pan-Islamists, and did not change its policy toward Turkey. The Indian Muslims’ attempt to influence the provisions of the Treaty of Sevres thus failed, and the European powers, most notably Great Britain and France, went ahead with territorial adjustments, including the institution of mandates over formerly Ottoman Arab territories.

The Khilafat movement (1919–22) was a pan-Islamic, political protest campaign launched by Muslims of India to influence the British government not to abolish the Ottoman Caliphate.

The movement collapsed by late 1922 when Turkey gained a more favourable diplomatic position and moved toward secularism. By 1924 Turkey simply abolished the roles of the Sultan and Caliph.[1]
