The abolition of the Ottoman Caliphate, 1924 : debates and implications

This book explores the decision by the Grand National Assembly of Turkey in 1924 to abolish the caliphate. The Ottoman sultans had long borne the title of caliphs of Islam and even after the demise of the sultanate in 1922 the caliphate retained great symbolic relevance.
