What is the Khilafat movement ? Why it started and why did it end?

Answer»

Explanation:

It was a PROTEST against the SANCTIONS placed on the caliph and the OTTOMAN Empire after the First World War by the Treaty of Sèvres. The movement COLLAPSED by late 1922 when Turkey gained a more favourable diplomatic position and moved TOWARDS secularism. By 1924 Turkey simply abolished the role of caliph.
