| | The Khilafat Movement, Mahatma Gandhiji leading the Congress and the start of Non-Cooperation Movement |
 | | The Ali brothers, Muhammad Ali and Shawkat Ali, Maulana abul kalam azad, Dr MA Ansari, and Hasrat Mohani initiated the Movement. | | | The movement was launched formally on 1st August 1920, after the expiry of the notice that Gandhi had given to the Viceroy in his letter of 22 June, in which he had asserted the right recognized 'from time immemorial of the subject to refuse to assist a ruler who misrules'. | | | In March 1920 a Khilafat delegation led by Maulana Muhammad Ali went to England to plead for the Khilafat cause. |

| | The final blow to the movement was Kemal Atatürk's overthrow of the Ottoman Sultan. | | | In September 1919, Muhammad Ali and his brother Shaukat Ali, together with Maulana Abdul Kalam Azad, Dr. Mukhtar Ahmed Ansari, and Hasrat Mohani, started a new organization, the Khilafat Movement. | | | One Muslim journalist, Maulana Muhammad Ali, spent four years in prison (1911-1915) for preaching resistance to the British and support for the Ottoman caliph. |

| | The Telegraph - Calcutta : Opinion |
| | The Khilafat-Non-Cooperation movement is singular because it is the only movement led by Gandhi that was centred on a religious issue: the preservation of the Sultan of Turkey as the Caliph of all Muslims. | | | When Gandhi described the Khilafat cause as the “Muslim cow”, that is, a sacred, sentimental cause, his analogy was off the mark. | | | That Gandhi acted in patronizing bad faith, is clear from the abruptness with which he called off the movement after the Chauri Chaura violence without even consulting his Muslim allies. |

The Muslim mind, rooted in mediaevalism, and still basking in the sunset of the Mughal empire, could not comprehend the dynamics of modernity. | | | By whipping up the fanaticism and extra-territoriality of Muslim Indians, the Khilafat agitation greatly widened the gulf between Hindus and Muslims. |
