Dr Umar Alisha has Actively participated in the Khilafat Movement of those days. A unique battle against the British rulers was waged with Gandhi caps in the early 1920s by the students of the Victoria Diamond Jubilee Medical School, which later became the Andhra Medical College. It all started on 1921-09-19, when one of the students, impelled by patriotic fervour, came to the classroom sporting the khadi cap.

He was incensed like his compatriots of those days over the arrest of the freedom-fighter Maulana Mohammad Ali at the Waltair (now Visakhapatnam) railway station on 1921-09-14. Mohammed Ali, one of the famed Ali Brothers (the other was Maulana Shaukat Ali), was proceeding to Madras, along with Mahatma Gandhi, travelling by the Howrah-Madras Mail. Both the leaders alighted at the station, packed with a lot of people and also policemen. As soon as Mohammed Ali got down from the train, a shivering Superintendent of Police served the arrest warrant on Ali and whisked him away to the Central Jail. Gandhiji addressed the gathering and continued his journey to Madras.

While in the jail, Ali was visited by local Congress leaders like P.C. Venkatapathi Raju and Vasantarao Butchisundara Rao. In the evening that day a public meeting was held on the beach where loads of foreign clothes were burnt. Umar Alisha, a Telugu poet, made a fiery speech against the arrest of the Khilafat movement leader. On the morning of 1921-09-17, Ali was taken to the Waltair station from the jail with police escort for being sent to Karachi. People in large numbers cheered Ali all along the route from the jail to the station.
