Detailed Solution

The Khilafat Committee was formed in March 1919 in Bombay.
The main objective of the Khilafat Committee formed in Bombay was to defend the temporal powers of the Khalifa. This was formed after the former spiritual head of the Islamic world (the Khalifa), the Ottoman Emperor, was defeated in the First World War (1914-1918). This was also a crucial point in the Indian independence movement as Mahatma Gandhi felt the need to bring Hindus and Muslims together to launch a broad-based independence movement in India. The two brothers, Muhammad Ali and Shaukat Ali, had a prime role in discussing the possibility of the united action of the Hindus and Muslims on the issue of independence.
