Khudai Khidmatgar was a Pashtun non-violent resistance movement against the British Raj in the North West Frontier Province. It was also called Surkh Posh or “Red Shirts” or “Laal Kameez”.
The movement was led by Abdul Ghaffar Khan, known locally as Bacha Khan or Badshah Khan.
The movement followed the principles of Mahatma Gandhi, for that reason Abdul Ghaffar Khan was known as Frontier Gandhi or “Seemant Gandhi(in hindi).
Members of the Khudai Khidmatgar were organized and the men stood out because of the bright red shirts they wore as uniforms, while the women wore black garments.
The Khudai Khidmatgars strongly opposed the proposal for the partition of India, siding with the Indian National Congress and All India Azad Muslim Conference. It opposed Lahore Resolution, 1940 and never proposed NWFP’s merger into Pakistan.
