Name two leaders of the Khilafat Movement. Why is the Khilafat Movement significant in the history of the National Movement?

The Khilafat Movement was led by the Ali brothers — Mohammed Ali and Shaukat Ali. It is significant because it was later merged with the Non-Cooperation Movement launched by Gandhiji. The movement helped to create a strong sense of Hindu-Muslim unity. It played an important role in strengthening nationalist feelings and led to political awakening among the Indian people.
