Detailed Solution

The above statement is True.
The religious head of Muslims is Khalifa. The Sultan of Turkey, also known as Khalifa, was revered by Muslims all over, including in India. Turkey sided with Germany and Austria against the British during the First World War. The Indian Muslims backed the government during the First World War with the knowledge that Khalifa would control the holy sites of the Ottoman Empire. But the Ottoman Empire was split up, Turkey was broken up, and the Khalifa lost his position of authority after the war. The Muslims were enraged because they perceived this as an insult to the Khalifa. The Khilafat Movement was launched by the Ali brothers, Shaukat Ali and Mohammad Ali, as a protest against British rule between 1919 and 1924.
