FirstInTest · Accepted Answer

Correct answer: C. The Jazirat-ul-Arab, in the context of the Khilafat Movement, referred to the holy places of Islam and the territories traditionally under Muslim rule, which included Arabia, Syria, Iraq, and Palestine. The Khilafat Movement in India sought to pressure the British government to protect the Ottoman Caliphate and these Muslim lands. Afghanistan, while a Muslim-majority country, was an independent kingdom at the time and was not considered part of the specific geographical demand for Jazirat-ul-Arab. Therefore, Afghanistan was not a part of Jazirat-ul-Arab as defined by the Khilafat Movement's demands.
