The Ali brothers, Muhammad Ali Jauhar and Shaukat Ali, were active in the Khilfat Movement in India. Both studied in Aligarh Muslim University. The Ali brothers served a prison sentence for inciting Indian Muslims against the British to protect the Khalifat in Turkey.

The brothers were released from prison in 1919.
