The Khilafat movement began during the rule of Lord Chelmsford in India. Lord Chelmsford served as the Viceroy of India from 1916 to 1921. The movement was initiated in 1919 and was a political and religious protest against the end of the Ottoman Caliphate by the Allied powers after World War I. It aimed to unite Indian Muslims and garner support for the restoration of the Caliphate, which was seen as a significant symbol for Muslims worldwide. The movement was led by prominent Indian leaders, including the Ali brothers - Muhammad Ali and Shaukat Ali. Lord Chelmsford`s tenure as Viceroy witnessed significant unrest and political movements in India, including the Non-Cooperation Movement led by Mahatma Gandhi.
