The All India Pakhtoon Jirga-e-Hind (Шаблон:Lang-ps , Шаблон:Lang-ur), commonly known as the Jirga-e-Hind (Шаблон:Lang-ps , Шаблон:Lang-ur), is an organisation representing the interests of Pashtuns in India. It is chaired by Yasmin Nigar Khan.[1]

Activities

The All India Pakthoon Jirga-e-Hind seeks to provide 3,200,000 Pashtuns living and working within the Republic of India with Indian citizenship.[2][3][4] It appeals to an agreement made between Khan Abdul Ghaffar Khan and Jawaharlal Nehru that would enable Pashtuns who wished to stay in India after its partition to do so;[2] Khan Abdul Ghaffar Khan and the Khudai Khidmatgar had strongly opposed the partition of India.[5]

The organisation wishes to see the creation of two universities in Delhi and Calcutta in honour of Indian independence movement activist Khan Abdul Ghaffar Khan.[2] These universities would provide an education for the Pashtuns of Afghanistan who wish to study in India, although others would receive admission as well.[2]

The All India Pakthoon Jirga-e-Hind has advocated for the merger of the North West Frontier Province in Pakistan with the country of Afghanistan.[6] It argues that the NWFP was leased to the British for one hundred years by Afghanistan and so it should be returned to Afghanistan.[6]
