All-India Khilafat committee, with its headquarters in the Khilafat House has a glorious historical past. This organization was founded by the famous Ali Brothers – Maulana Mohammad Ali and Maulana Shaukat Ali in 1919 with the active support of Mahatma Gandhi. The main objective of this organization was to represent the voice of the Indian Muslims in their resentment against the British rule and soon it became the chief instrument of opposition.
