HISTORY It had originally migrated from Medina to

Damascus and from Damascus to Baghdad. For sometime it was located in Egypt, then it fell to the lot of Turkey

Till Mughal Empire had been in existence, the Muslims of India did not recognize Khilafat

At this critical juncture, when the Muslims of the Sub-continent had no sovereign ruler of their own, they began to see the necessity of recognizing the Sultan of Turkey as their Caliph

7

CONT… The European powers had played a leading

role in reducing the might of Turkey in Europe to Eastern Thrace, Constantinople and the straits in the Balkan Wars (1912-13)

To seek revenge, the Turks decided to side with the Germans against the Allied Forces. The Indian Muslims supported this decision

TWO IMPORTANT TREATIES

21

THE TREATY OF SÈVRES  (10 August 1920) was the peace

treaty between the Ottoman Empire and Allies at the end of World War I.

The Tripartite Agreement confirmed Britain's oil and commercial concessions and turned the former German enterprises in the Ottoman Empire over to a Tripartite corporation.

April 1920. France, Italy, and Great Britain, however, had secretly begun the partitioning of the Ottoman Empire as early as 1915.

The Treaty of Sèvres was annulled in the course of the Turkish War of Independence and the parties signed and ratified the superseding Treaty of Lausanne in 1923.

22

23

THE TREATY OF LAUSANNE A peace treaty signed in Lausanne, Switzerland on

24 July 1923,  Treaty of Sèvres was rejected before it had been

ratified, by the Turkish national movement led by Mustafa Kemal Atatürk,

The Treaty of Lausanne ended the conflict and defined the borders of the modern Turkish state except for details of the border with Iraq

In the treaty, Turkey gave up all claims to the remainder of the Ottoman Empire and in return the other signatories recognized Turkish sovereignty within its new borders

The treaty was ratified by Turkey on 23 August 1923,

continuing their activities, the struggle of Khilafat weakened as Muslims were divided between Working for the Congress For cause of Khilafat Muslim League

The final blow came with the victory of Mustafa Kemal's forces, who overthrew the Ottoman rule to establish a pro-Western, secular republic in independent Turkey.

He abolished the Chalipath role and sought no help from Indians

different political lines. Syed Ata Ullah Shah Bukhari created Majlis-e-Ahrar-

CONT…. A central Institution of Khalifat was abolished Emergence of New Arab States Division of Arab and Non Arab widen KSA took the central role of Religion

36

EPILOGUE The Khilafat struggle evokes controversy and

strong opinions it is regarded as a political agitation based on a pan-Islamic, fundamentalist platform and being largely indifferent to the cause of Indian Independence

Proponents of the Khilafat see it as the spark that led to the non-cooperation movement in India and a major milestone in improving Hindu-Muslim relations, while advocates of Pakistan and Muslim separatism see it as a major step towards establishing the separate Muslim state

37

CONT…. The Ali brothers are regarded as founding-

fathers of Pakistan, while Azad, Dr. Ansari and Hakim Ajmal Khan are widely celebrated as national heroes in India

Critics of the Khilafat see its Alliance with the Congress as a marriage of convenience.
