Question 6

Name the leaders of the Khilafat Movement which was launched in India to champion the cause of the Caliph of Turkey. How did the Khilafat Movement come to an end?

Answer

The leaders of the Khilafat Movement launched in India to champion the cause of the Caliph of Turkey were-

  1. Mohammad Ali
  2. Shaukat Ali

The Khilafat Movement died a natural death when in November 1922 Mustafa Kemal Pasha deposed the Sultan of Turkey and showed no concern for the holy places of Islam. He finally abolished the Caliphate and separated the State from religion. Mustafa modernised education, agriculture and industry. He developed Turkey on secular and progressive lines.
