Madras in 1920

Kolkata in 1919

Lucknow in 1919

Correct Answer:

Bombay in 1919

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option 1- Bombay in 1919

The Khilafat Committee was formed by the Ali brothers, Mohammad Ali and Shaukat Ali, in Bombay in 1919.

The Khilafat Committee was a pan-Islamist political protest movement launched by Indian Muslims in support of the Ottoman Caliphate during World War I. After the war, the Ottoman Empire was dismembered by the Allied Powers, and the Caliphate was abolished. This outraged Indian Muslims, who saw the Caliphate as the symbol of Muslim unity and power.

The Khilafat Committee launched a series of protests and demonstrations against the British government. It also urged Indian Muslims to boycott British goods and institutions. The Khilafat Movement was one of the largest mass movements in British India, and it played a major role in the Indian independence movement.

The Ali brothers were the leaders of the Khilafat Committee. They were both charismatic and eloquent speakers, and they were able to mobilize millions of Muslims in support of the movement. The Ali brothers were arrested and imprisoned by the British government, but they continued to lead the movement from prison.
