Mohandas Gandhi’s Fatal Friendship with the Ali Brothers

THIS EPISODE traces the origins of the so-called Khilafat Movement to the destruction of the Ottoman Caliphate by the British. The Ashraf or Muslim elite in India were outraged at this event and began to provoke the Indian Muslim community for the restoration of the Caliphate. The Khilafat Movement was led by two brothers, Muhammad Ali Jauhar and Shaukat Ali, popularly known as the Ali Brothers. Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi volunteered to support this lethal agitation aimed at reviving Muslim political power in India. It had nothing to with the freedom struggle against the British. The childish statements and outrageous behaviour of Gandhi in support of the Khilafat Movement truly defies description. Do watch this thrilling episode that offers priceless perspectives and sharp analysis about crucial events related to the Indian National Congress and freedom struggle.
