After 1923, the Turks themselves ignored the Caliphate and the Khilafat movement died, but the fire that started within the Indian muslims burnt bigger than ever and with that fire, Muslim league, started demanding for more power within the interim government.
Congress, then did another bigger mistake, in order to bring the Indian muslims back to the mainstream politics, they started rewriting the history of India, where muslims were considered to be living peacefully with the Hindus and they were living in centuries long aminity. This was immediately taken a step futher by the next generation political wing, the left, to gain political mileage.
The radical humanist M.N. Roy wrote that Islam had fulfilled a historic mission of equality and abolition of discrimination, and that for this, Islam had been welcomed into India by the lower castes. If at all any violence had occurred, it was as a matter of justified class struggle by the progressive forces against the reactionary forces, meaning the fedual Hindu upper castes.
