During the Hamidian Regime of Sultan Abdulhamid II [[File:Caliphate.png]] [[Pan-Nationalism#Pan-Islamism|Islamism]] became the state ideology, as Abdulhamid often stressed being the Caliph. The idea of Abdulhamid being the Caliph was very popular in [[File:Cball-British India.png]] the Raj. Even though the Young Turks deposed Abdulhamid in 1909 and put Mehmed V in power, they still promoted [[File:Caliphate.png]] [[Pan-Nationalism#Pan-Islamism|Islamism]]. This was because if the Ottoman Sultan was the Caliph then the loyalty of the Muslims under Ottoman control would theoretically be ensured. The fact that Indian Muslims were more loyal to the Ottoman Caliph than to the British Empire was a big concern for the British.
