Seminar paper from the year 2017 in the subject History - Asia, University of Peshawar (Pakistan Study Centre), course: M.Phill, language: English, abstract: The Khilafat Movement was the first ripple in the stagnant ocean of Muslim politics in India. The movement combined them as a nation and gave them a good lesson of unity. Seeing the opportunity, Mahatma Gandhi quickly affiliated himself with the Khilafat movement. The Khilafat movement enabled Gandhi to spread his non-cooperation movement in the whole country of India. One byproduct of the Khilafat movement was the Hijrat movement. The Hijrat movement failed, affecting the financial condition of Muslims badly, but conveying their unstinted love for Islam. The Khilafat movement was unable to achieve its targets, but the political activity it created helped Muslims to organize themselves as a nation and to work systematically in the upcoming movement of independence from India.

This is a rejoinder to suppressed histories.The role of minorities in India s struggle for freedom has been praise-worthy in every sense of the term. They played an immensely important role there.

Delhi came under the British rule in 1803 following the defeat of the Marathas at the hands of the British forces, led by General Lake in the Battle at Patparganj near Chalera Village in the current city of Noida. General Lake established a residency at Delhi with Sir David Ochterlony as its first resident and Chief Commissioner. Following the British conquest, there was an impression that the population of the city was steadily increasing. In 1806, Lord Lake and others were convinced that there was a definite increase in the population and attributed it to the novelty of a regime of comfort, security and impartial justice. Census reports from 1833 to 1853 showed a rise in population from 131,000 to 151,000. Most of the population was concentrated around the Chandni Chowk and Faiz Bazaar region of Daryaganj. The reason for this substantial increase in population was said to be the annual increase in the influx of people from outside, mostly from Punjab.
