Question

The “silk letter” movement operated alongside a movement named for this title, whose followers declared a kingdom in Ernad during a rebellion that ended after prisoners were suffocated in the “Wagon tragedy.” In hopes of transferring this title, Marmaduke Pickthall went to Nice, France, to get a former holder’s consent for his daughter to marry the Nizam (15[1])of Hyderabad’s son. (15[1])A year before a 1924 law replaced (15[1])this title, (15[1])it was reimagined in a book by (15[1])Rashīd Riḍā. Mappilas joined a movement named for, and aimed at (*) preserving, (10[1])this title, (10[1])which operated contemporaneously with the Non-Cooperation Movement in British India under the leadership (10[1])of the Ali brothers. (10[1]-5[1])Sharif Hussein bin Ali briefly took this title, which was held by the (10[1])Ottoman Sultan for 500 years (10[2])from Selim I until its abolition (10[1])by Atatürk. For 10 points, name this title alternately called “Commander of the Faithful.” ■END■ (10[2])

ANSWER: caliph [or khilāfah; or Sultan-Caliph of Ottoman Empire; accept Commander of the Faithful until “Commander” is read; accept ’Amir al-Mu’minin, Halîfe-i Müslimîn, or Emîrü’l-Mü’minîn; accept caliphate or Khilafat Movement; prompt on sultan of the Ottoman Empire or Ottoman emperor until “Ottoman” is read by asking “which other title held by the sultan does the clue refer to?”]
