Explanation

Khan Abdul Gaffar Khan (1890-1988) was a Pashtun independence activist and founder of the Khudai Khidmatgaran ('Servants of God') movement. He was called 'Frontier Gandhi' because, like Mahatma Gandhi, he advocated for non-violent resistance and was based in the North-West Frontier Province (now Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan). Maulana Azad, Zakir Hussain, and Shah Nawaz Khan were prominent leaders but not associated with this nickname.
