Download or read book Ghaffar Khan written by Rajmohan Gandhi and published by Penguin UK. This book was released on 2017-07-24 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Born into the Muhammadzai tribe, from the Charsadda valley in the Pakhtun heartland, Khan Abdul Ghaffar Khan was a passionate believer in the nonviolent core of Islam and sought to wean his people-the fierce warrior Pakhtuns or Pathans of the North-West Frontier Province-from their violent traditions and fight for a separate Pakhtun homeland that would no longer be a buffer between Russia and Britain in the Great Game. In 1929 came Mahatma Gandhi's call for nonviolent resistance against British rule and Badshah Khan responded by raising the Khudai Khidmatgars (Servants of God), an army of 1,00,000 men who pledged themselves to the service of mankind and nonviolence as a creed. For this, and for his steadfast devotion to his principles, this towering figure was imprisoned for a total of twenty-seven years, first by the British and later by the Pakistani government. This is a perceptive biography that offers fresh insights into the life and achievements of an extraordinary man, drawing close parallels with the life of Mahatma Gandhi, his brother in spirit.The author looks at Ghaffar Khan 'with the spectacles of today rather than those of 1947', emphasizing that for people in the twenty-first century who live in the shadow of 9/11, Badshah Khan's unwavering commitment to nonviolence and Hindu-Muslim unity offers valuable lessons.
Book Synopsis The Frontier Gandhi by : Imtiaz Ahmad Sahibzada
Download or read book The Frontier Gandhi written by Imtiaz Ahmad Sahibzada and published by . This book was released on 2021-09-13 with total page 584 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Affectionately known as 'Bacha' Khan or 'Badshah' Khan amongst his people, Khan Abdul Ghaffar's life was dedicated to the social reform of the Pukhtuns, who traditionally adhere to a strict code of life called 'Pukhtunwali', which is governed by rather rigid tribal norms. Bacha Khan is an acknowledged leader in the hearts of the Pukhtuns across the world, due to his life long struggle to modernize Pukhtun society and his teachings of non-violence, adopted by his Khudai Khidmatgar (Servants of God) party, during the struggle for independence against the British. He stands tall in the pantheon of leaders of the movement for independence. A close associate of Mahatma Gandhi, his success in mobilizing the Pukhtuns of the North-West Frontier Province and the Tribal Areas through a non-violent struggle, had significant bearing on this movement, in which the Khudai Khidmatgar allied with the Indian National Congress. The Pushto edition of Bacha Khan's autobiography was first published in 1983 in Afghanistan, when he was 93 years old. Nearly four decades later the book has been translated and published for the first time in English. This translation was painstakingly done by Sahibzada at the request of Shandana Humayun Khan, to whom he has dedicated the book. Shandana's maternal great-grandfather was Qazi Ataullah, a close lieutenant of Bacha Khan's and a key figure in the Khudai Khidmatgar movement. Before the translation process started, Sahibzada and Shandana visited several members of Bacha Khan's family including his grandsons Nasir Ali Khan, Asfandayar Wali Khan and Saleem Jan. The translator shared a close friendship with Bacha Khan's son, Abdul Ghani Khan, the greatest Pukhtun poet of the century. The book is a result of the participation of several members of his family and those who have spent their lives studying Bacha Khan's philosophy. For the first time Bacha Khan's thoughts on Pukhtun society, his vision for a more equitable world achieved along the lines of non-violence have been researched, translated and made available for the world in his own words.

Book excerpt: Mari berguru pada air karena ia memilih mengalir, menembus kokohnya pegunungan yang harus dilewatinya untuk mencapai hilir. Air pun mampu mengikis batu karang yang keras. Ia lembut dan kelembutan adalah kekuatan. Ia yang kuat memilih bertindak tanpa kekerasan. Suatu tindakan yang membutuhkan nyali karena tidak banyak orang yang memilihnya. Ekhnat Easwaran dalam buku ini menyampaikan pesan dua tokoh pionir antikekerasan, Badshah Khan dan Mahatma Gandhi dengan keindahan yang menyentuh hati siapa saja yang merindukan kedamaian. Seperti Badshah Khan mengatakan: Aku memiliki mimpi besar, kerinduan yang besar Seperti bunga-bunga di padang gurun, orang-orang sebangsaku lahir, mekar sesaat tanpa ada yang merawatnya, mereka layu, dan kembali menjadi debu. Aku ingin melihat mereka berbagi suka dan duka. Aku ingin melihat mereka bekerja sama sebagai rekan yang sejajar. Aku ingin melihat mereka berperan bagi negara dan dunia, melayani Tuhan dan demi kemanusiaan. ENDORSEMENTS ?Ditulis dengan lengkap ?cerita heroik yang menginspirasi.?

Book Synopsis Badshah Khan: Islamic Peace Warrior by : Heathcote Williams
Download or read book Badshah Khan: Islamic Peace Warrior written by Heathcote Williams and published by . This book was released on 2015-04-23 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the violent excesses of Islamic extremist groups dominate the media, Heathcote Williams brings us a timely account of another face of Islam - the amazing life of Badshah Abdel Gaffar Khan, who founded a 100,000 man 'Peace Army' during India's 1940s sectarian conflict. A devout and prayerful man, whose legacy as a spiritual guide lives on in the hearts of millions of Moslems, this Pashtun champion of world peace was a close friend of Mahatma Gandhi. BadshahKhna spent much of his life in jail for his political beliefs, and was tortured by the British; yet he lived well into his 90s, tirelessly committed to his 'jihad' of peace, kindness and gentleness, which Williams depicts with clarity and passion, deftly employing the sensitive economy of poetry.
