\nThe Khilafat Movement (1919-1924) was primarily a reaction by Indian Muslims to the treatment of the Ottoman Empire by the Allied powers after World War I. The Ottoman Sultan was considered the Khalifa (Caliph), the spiritual and political head of Muslims worldwide. The movement in India was organized to protest against the perceived humiliation of the Khalifa and the disintegration of his empire, and to pressure the British government to protect the sovereignty of the Khalifa and preserve his control over holy sites. While it later allied with the Indian nationalist movement under Gandhi (Non-Cooperation Movement), its foundational cause was the defense of the Caliphate.
