Bacha Khan was a Pashtun leader who advocated for non-violent resistance against British colonial rule, spending 15 years in jail for his beliefs.
Even amidst his commitment to peaceful means, Bacha Khan faced imprisonment under both British and Pakistani governments, reflecting the struggles of his political legacy.
Upon India's independence in 1947, Khan's initial opposition to partition highlighted his vision for a united subcontinent, which later evolved into calls for Pashtun autonomy.
The recognition of Bacha Khan’s contributions has gradually increased, marking a significant shift in how history remembers him, from being overlooked to celebrated.
