The Khudai Khidmatgar ('Servants of God'), a non-violent movement among the Pathans, was started by Khan Abdul Ghaffar Khan (also known as Frontier Gandhi) in 1929.
Inspired by Mahatma Gandhi’s principles, this movement promoted peaceful resistance against British colonial rule in the North-West Frontier Province (now Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan).
Composed mainly of Pashtuns, the Khudai Khidmatgar pledged to serve humanity through non-violence, social reform, and unity. They played a significant role in India’s freedom struggle, aligning with the Indian National Congress. Despite facing brutal repression, they remained committed to non-violent protest, earning global admiration.
