Abd al-Ghafār Khān

Abd al-Ghafār Khān, often known as Bacha Khan, was an influential Indian independence activist and a prominent leader in the Indian freedom struggle during the early 20th century. He was a key figure in the Khilafat Movement and a strong proponent of non-violence, inspired by Mahatma Gandhi. Khān worked tirelessly for the rights of the Pashtun people in what is now Pakistan, advocating for social reform, education, and unity among different communities. His emphasis on peaceful resistance and his vision for a united, independent India make him an important figure in the history of South Asian politics and social justice.
