The Khilafat movement (1919–22) was a pan-Islamic, political protest campaign launched by Muslims in British India to influence the British government not to abolish the Ottoman Caliphate.[1] The movement occurred simultaneously with the Swadeshi movement and were focused on increasing Hindu Muslim unity.[1]
The movement collapsed by late 1922 when Turkey gained a more favorable diplomatic position and moved toward secularism. By 1924 Turkey simply abolished the roles of Sultan and Caliph.[2]
