The Khilafat movement was launched in 1919 in response to British plans to dissolve the Ottoman Empire after World War 1. Leaders like Maulana Muhammad Ali and Maulana Shaukat Ali organized under the Khilafat Committee to protect the caliphate and holy Muslim sites. The movement held conferences to gain support and sent a delegation to Britain, but their demands were rejected. Repression by British authorities led to the movement's failure, though it politically awakened Muslims and promoted unity between Muslims and Congress parties for a time.
