SSC Selection Post 2022 PYQ — Question 40

The correct answer is Option 2 i.e. November 1919 

The All India Khilafat Conference was held in Delhi in November 1919. This significant event was part of the larger Khilafat Movement, which aimed to protect the position of the Caliph of the Ottoman Empire after World War I. The conference brought together prominent leaders such as Mahatma Gandhi, Shaukat Ali, and Maulana Abul Kalam Azad, who emphasized Hindu-Muslim unity and non-violent resistance. It marked a critical point where the Indian National Movement and Muslim political aspirations converged. Gandhi’s involvement gave the movement national importance and helped unify various sections of Indian society against British rule. The conference helped lay the foundation for the Non-Cooperation Movement that formally launched in 1920.
