Khan Abdul Ghaffar Khan

Khan Abdul Ghaffar Khan, also known as Bacha Khan, was a prominent Indian and Pakistani political leader and peace advocate.

Arching from the 1930s to the 1980s, he promoted education, unity, and independence from colonial rule, while opposing violence and extremism. His commitment to nonviolence earned him the nickname “Frontier Gandhi.” He played a significant role in India’s independence movement and later contributed to Pakistan’s development, emphasizing peace, tolerance, and social justice throughout his life.
