Question

name the place associated with the formation of the khilafat committee.
A. Bombay
B. Madras
C. Calcutta
D. Poona

Answer 1

Hint: The Khilafat Movement, also known as the Indian Muslim Movement (1919-24), was a purely Islamic political protest campaign led by Muslims from British India under the leadership of Shaukat Ali, Maulana Mohammad Ali Jauhar, Hakim Ajmal Khan, and Abul Kalam Azad. The Ottoman Caliphate, which as the leader of Sunni Muslims was seen as an effective political force.

Complete Answer:
Britain fought the First World War with the central powers including Turkey. Turkey is the seat of the Caliph Muslim, he is the political and holy leader of Muslims. The First World War ended with the defeat of Ottoman Turkey. And there are rumors that harsh peace treaties will be imposed on the emperor of the Ottoman Empire (the spiritual leader of the Islamic world (Khalifa)). In order to defend the interim power of Khalifa, a khilafat committee was formed in Mumbai in March 1919.
Failure:
Although there were talks with the United Kingdom and continued activities, as Muslims were working for Parliament, there were differences between the khilafat cause and the Muslim League, so the khilafat movement weakened. The final blow came from the victory of Mustafa Kemal Pasha's army, who overthrew the rule of the Ottoman Empire and established a progressive secular republic in independent Turkey. He abolished the role of Caliph and did not seek help from the Indians.
So, the correct answer is Option A.

Note: The first Caliphate, the Rashidun Caliphate, succeeded Muhammad immediately after his death in 632. The four Rashidun caliphs were elected through Shura, a community consultation process that some consider the early form of Islamic democracy.
