Bacha khan's grand daughter is an Indian

[MayaBazar]

So you will take the millions of Pashtoon refugees living in Pakistan?
yeah, you guys are all talk and no walk.

Absolutely. Any Pushtun living in Pakistan/Afghanistan should be given citizenship of India if they opt to immigrate to India.

so start that up, see how far you get.
No point talking about it on PDF, go to you Sanghi forums to get people behind you.

I get that Bacha Khan is important to our Pushtoon population but I never understood this guy.

He fought against Pakistan.
He wanted us to join with India and suffer the same fate as Indian Muslims.

I don't get why we glorify him.
Am I missing something?

The Pakistani Pashtun don't glorify Bacha Khan. Mostly Afghans and ANP/PTM glorify Bacha Khan.

Absolutely. Any Pushtun living in Pakistan/Afghanistan should be given citizenship of India if they opt to immigrate to India.

You don't have many supporters among Pakistani Pashtun.

Yet surprisingly, it would be Pashtoons from both sides of the border ( what Red Caps Brigade call "Lar aw Bar Afghaan") that would run over India alongside whatever is left of Pak army, in the very next war, in about 3-4 years.

That's okay. You may be right as I do not know the ground realities but I want my government to fulfill our obligation towards them.

Lord Rama said "pran jaye par vachan na jaye"

Whatever.

It is very unfortunate that Gandhi was forced to accept the partition and in the process had to sacrifice the interests of Bacha khan and Pushtuns.

Happy to know that India is taking care of the Pushtuns.

Any Pushtuns who wants to become a citizen of India should be granted citizenship immediately.

3 million Afghans can be taken by India?
Ask your modi jii to start the process. We will happily send them all.

First give nationality to less than 10K afghanis living in india.

I have already said that all the people who have been living in India are citizens of India.

Yes. Please send them over.

Yes. Please send them over.

Another Modi baghat is here for open******tion.

 

[MayaBazar]

Whatever.

Not whatever my dear. It is one the main pillars of Hinduism. This was quoted by none other than Lord Rama.

Pran jaye par vachan na jaye means promises are more important than your life and they must be kept, even if you have to sacrifice your life.

NEW DELHI: It takes some temerity to pose as grandchildren of a figure of history. But that’s what happened at the inauguration of an exhibition to mark 125 years of Khan Abdul Gaffar Khan — the Sarhadi Gandhi also known as Badshah Khan — at the Nehru Memorial Museum and Library (NNML) earlier this month.

The exhibition was inaugurated on May 20 by culture minister Mahesh Sharma. Sitting by his side on the dais was a lady who ‘styled’ herself as a granddaughter of the freedom movement icon. Her sister and her son were also present, duly introduced to the largely unsuspecting audience as granddaughter and great grandson of Badshah Khan.

But a couple in the gathering suspected the trio’s lineage — and for good reasons! Married to an Indian Foreign Service officer of 1964 batch, Brinda Dubey is the granddaughter of Ghaffar Khan’s brother, Dr Khansaheb. She did not know from Adam the people introduced as ‘descendants’ of Badshah Khan.

Dr Khansaheb was the first chief minister of North-West Frontier Province now known as Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. He married twice, having three sons from his first wife who was a Pakhtun, and two children — a son and a daughter — from the second wife, an English woman.



Dubey’s mother Mariam Khansaheb married her father—Air Marsh al Jaswant Singh — in 1942 and became an Indian citizen after the Partition. “We were absolutely shocked by the appearance of this person, styling herself as the granddaughter of the great Badshah Khan, even giving a speech saying that she and her family were carrying on the legacy,” recalled Dubey.

She told HT that she took up the matter with an additional secretary of the culture minister soon after the function. “I told him that she isn’t what she says she is…I followed up the conversation with an email to the official. There has been no word in response to my mail…”

Dubey also informed Ghaffar Khan’s grandson, Asfandyar Wali, the supreme leader of Pakistan’s Awami National Party. The ANP leader told HT on phone that the threesome in question had nothing to do with his family: “I appeal to the government and the people of India not to be misled by them. They’re obviously misusing the name of my grandfather.”

The only granddaughter of Badshah Khan in India is Zarine Khan Walsh who lives in Mumbai. She is the second daughter of the Frontier Gandhi’s eldest son, Abdul Ghani Khan, and had married a Canadian who died some years ago.

On being confronted by facts as stated by Asfandyar, a culture ministry official claimed the women honoured at the function were daughters of Ghaffar Khan’s “adopted” son: “We invited them on the advice of the humanities and social sciences department of IIT-Kharagpur where, too, a commemorative event was held for Frontier Gandhi.”

Be that as it may, an official release on the function had said the minister honoured Ghaffar Khan’s ‘descendants’ by presenting them shawls. It’s another matter the real descendants of the Sarhadi Gandhi have no clue from where they were. Or who they are?

She also married a Canadian gora and is called Zarine khan Walsh.

Who in the world is this bacha khan dude anyways? And why is it so important whom his daughter marries? If she is hindistani, then why should anyone on a Pakistani forum, give a hoot about?
