Abstract

Wherever people are born, they belong to a distinctive geography, nation or race. They instinctively adopt that region and that nation like their mother's milk and consider their right and authority over it. The Pashtuns, who have lived from the river Amu to Abaseen for thousands of years, have had to protect their motherland, and they have at one time or another fought for their sovereignty over it. The great sixteenth century poet, Khushal Khan Khattak has also made this idea a major subject of his writings, which will be discussed here in this article. During Khushal Khattak's time, Pashtuns came under the influence of Mughal rule,  and at that time they were victims of internal conflicts as well. Khushal Khan Khattak first went to each of the Pashtun tribes in the form of Jirga's, and enlightened them of the idea of ​​independence.
