In this study, the role of the “Caliphate” Movement in India is examined in relation to the Hijaz’s developments at the beginning of Baqi’s second destruction (1344–1345 AH). During this time, there were protests by Muslims across the country against the Wahhabis’ actions, disputes between the Meccan sharifs and the Sultan of Najd, attempts by Islamic nations to mediate, the ascent to power of Sultan Abdulaziz Al Saud, the devastation of the Baqi Shrine and other tombs of the Holy Shrines, and the establishment of the Caliphate Council in the Hijaz. The following incidents are discussed based on the role of the Indian Caliphate Council: organizing protests, releasing declarations and resolutions, distributing food in the Hijaz, sending pilgrims from India to the Hijaz, sending a delegation to the Hijaz, meeting and conversing with the Sultan of Najd and the Sharif of Makkah, and interviewing and questioning the Hijaz residents regarding the Wahhabi’s actions, publishing the delegates’ reports, stressing the establishment of a republic in the Hijaz, holding Islamic summits with the attendance of representatives of Islamic nations, attempting to maintain the Islamic tombs, and reconstructing the deconstructed tombs. For the first time, the aforesaid themes are analyzed and discussed in this study, which employs a historical, narrative, and analytical approach, as well as the rare Urdu language sources. One of the innovations of this study is the examination and analysis of the reports from these uncommon sources.

Travelogues contain reports about the cultural, social, political, and economic information of their ages and are therefore attractive to people. From a long time ago, authors have been interested in writing travelogues and the importance of the two cities of Mecca and Medina among Muslims has caused writing travelogues of the Hajj and the Holy Shrine to be one of the most important types of travelogues being written by Muslims. Muslims journeys from all over the world to these two religious cities have led to the popularity of writing this type of travelogue. Muslims of India, regardless of the distance and the necessity of crossing the sea, tried the pilgrimage of Mecca and Medina, and some of them described their journeys. In this article, about two hundred travelogues of Indian Muslims to the Holy Shrines are introduced.
