Mahatma Gandhi And The Nationalist Movement
What was Khilafat Movement? Describe briefly.
The British had fought against the Sultan of Turkey in the First World War. They had also sought cooperation of the Indian Muslims in this war. The Muslims of India had cooperated with the British on the condition that the Sultan of Turkey would be given a fair treatment by the British after the war is over. But after the end of the war, the British maltreated the Sultan. The Muslims considered the Sultan as the Caliph (religious leader). So they felt annoyed. They started a vehement movement against the colonial rule. This movement was known as the Khilafat Movement. The Muslims carried on the movement with the cooperation of Gandhiji.
