Q. With reference to the Khilafat Movement consider the following statements.
Select the correct answer using the code given below.
The correct option is B
2 and 3 only
Explanation:
Statement 1 is incorrect:
The main demands of the movement were that the Turkish Sultan or Khalifa should retain control of the Muslim sacred places in the former Ottoman Empire; that the Jazirat-ul-Arab (Arabia, Syria , Iraq, Palestine) should remain under Muslim sovereignty; and that the Khalifa should be left with sufficient territory to defend the Islamic faith.
Statement 2 is correct:
The Khilafat Movement (1919-1920) was a movement of Indian Muslims led by Muhammad Ali and Shaukat Ali, due to the ill-treatment of the British in the Turkish Caliph after World War I.
Statement 3 is correct:
The Congress supported the movement, and Mahatma Gandhi sought to unite it with the Non-Cooperation Movement. Gandhiji hoped that by unifying non-cooperation with Khilafat, India's two major religious communities, Hindus and Muslims, they could end colonial rule collectively. These movements certainly triggered a surge in popular action that was unprecedented in colonial India.
