    The Khilafat Movement was a religio-political movement launched by Indian Muslims in the 1910s to support the Ottoman Caliphate and ensure control of holy Islamic places did not pass to non-Muslims. It involved protests, boycotts of British goods and courts, and non-cooperation with British rule. Some Muslims even migrated to Afghanistan but faced hardship when turned away. The movement ultimately failed due to short-lived Hindu-Muslim unity and changing political priorities, though it demonstrated Muslims' ability to organize for political aims.
