As tensions in Europe increased in the years leading up to the Great War, nationalists of every colony found themselves in the position of having to choose whether to remain neutral in the European Great Power rivalry or to support a Power that was challenging their own colonial masters. As we shall see, the “extremists” of both the Indian and Egyptian camps quickly chose to support the enemy of their enemy and threw in their lot with the Central Powers. The activities of these nationalists have largely been remembered in the context of the “Pan-Islamic” propaganda projects of the Ottomans. However, as noted in the introduction, the term “Pan-Islamic” remains multifaceted; and some problems with its use in the context of Indian-Egyptian connections during World War I will become clear in the course of this chapter.
