The Khilafat movement (1919-1924) was an agitation by Indian Muslims allied with Indian nationalism in the years following World War I. Its purpose was to pressure the British government to preserve the authority of the Ottoman Sultan as Caliph of Islam following the breakup of the Ottoman Empire at the end of the war.

Gandhiji saw in the Khilafat Movement an opportunity for uniting the Hindus & Muslims. He said that the Congress plea for Hindu- Muslim unity "would be an empty phrase if the Hindus hold aloof from the Muslims when their vital interests are at stake". Mahatma Gandhi was elected as President of the All - India Khilafat Conference in November 1919. He advised the Khilafat Committee to adopt a policy of Non-Cooperation with the Government.

After defeated in first world war , khalifa who was a spiritual head of islamic world signed harsh treaty with Britishers. According to this treaty , Britishers made an irrespective image of khalifa in the society . Muslims didn't want the irrespective image of khalifa. Therefore , they formed a khilafat committee at Bombay in 1920 . and started khilafat movement against the Britishers . Gandhi ji wanted to incorporate khilafat movement with non cooperation movement because he wanted to unite hindu muslims to make the movement more powerful .
