Which statement about the Khilafat Movement is correct?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: It was related to the position of the Turkish Caliph.
The Khilafat Movement arose after the First World War over the treatment and position of the Ottoman Turkish Caliph, who was regarded by many Muslims as an important religious leader. Indian Muslim leaders sought to defend the Caliph’s authority. Gandhi supported the issue and connected it with Non-Cooperation to encourage Hindu-Muslim unity. The salt law belongs mainly to the later Civil Disobedience Movement, while Jallianwala Bagh was a separate episode of colonial repression; therefore option A is correct.
