Correct Answer
Khan Abdul Ghaffar Khan, commonly known as Bacha Khan, was a leader from the North-West Frontier Province (now Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan) who vehemently opposed the idea of partition. There are several reasons for his opposition:
Non-Violence and Unity: Khan Abdul Ghaffar Khan was a strong advocate of non-violence, and he believed in fostering unity among different communities, particularly between Hindus and Muslims. He was a follower of Mahatma Gandhi's principles of non-violence and was committed to the idea of a united, independent India where different religious and ethnic communities could coexist peacefully.
Opposition to Religious Divisions: He believed that religious divisions and the idea of a separate Muslim state (Pakistan) would ultimately lead to division, discord, and conflict between communities, especially Hindus and Muslims. He saw the partition as a threat to the unity and harmony among India's diverse communities.
Advocacy for Non-Partition: Khan Abdul Ghaffar Khan actively worked towards preventing the partition of India. He was part of the Khilafat Movement and the Indian National Congress and sought to build bridges between different groups to resist the idea of partition.
Due to his strong commitment to non-violence, unity, and his opposition to the partition of India, Khan Abdul Ghaffar Khan played a significant role in the political landscape of the region during the lead-up to partition and independence.
