Badshah Khan, a Pathan of the former Northwest Frontier Province of India (today, the Taliban of Afghanistan), raised an army of 100,000 unarmed "Servants of God" and later became one of Gandhi's closest companions.

Badshah Khan could not give his people what their British "oppressors" had given them, and he merely created a cheap circus troupe, a cheerleading carnival performing in red uniforms for the benefit of bored peasants and later, corrupt politicians.

In order, however, to escape continual quarrels, the rajah and the badshah had drawn up an agreement, stamped and signed, declaring that if any of their subjects, from the least to the greatest; crossed the boundary between the two kingdoms, he might be seized and punished.
Then the poor badshah was seized and bound and taken to the rajah's prison, thinking most of the time of his wazir, who was suffering a similar fate, and wishing that, like the wazir, he could feel that there was something to give thanks for.

 INDOlink - Book Review - Nonviolent Soldier of Islam: Badshah Khan
“Badshah Khan,” the great Pushtun leader, a proud and devout Muslim, led an active resistance based on Islamic principles of nonviolence, first against the British Empire and then against military dictatorship in Pakistan.
Coming from the warrior culture of the Afghanistan-Pakistan border, he found in Islamic thought and faith the sources of militant but nonviolent political action.
He thereby transformed the warlike but politically ineffectual Pushtuns of British India into a highly disciplined and effective unarmed force, the “Khudai Khitmatgar.” His life and work demonstrate the deep consistency between core Islamic principles, modernization, national liberation and nonviolence.
