This program explores the life, struggle, and historical role of Aimal Khan Momand, a name closely associated with one of the greatest Pashtun freedom uprisings of the 17th century.
Aimal Khan Momand was a powerful tribal leader from the Khyber, Momand, Bara, and surrounding regions who chose armed resistance against Mughal domination, humiliation, and oppression.
The program explains Aimal Khan’s background, his tribal leadership, and the nature of his joint struggle alongside the Safis, Afridis, and Shinwaris. It also covers the historic Battle of Khyber, the defeat of the Mughal imperial army, his close alliance with Darya Khan Afridi, and the phase in which Aimal Khan declared himself king and issued coins bearing his name.
The program further highlights how Aimal Khan Momand led guerrilla warfare against the Mughals, transformed the mountains of Khyber and Tirah into strongholds of resistance, and how his struggle was reflected in the poetic and political stance of Khushal Khan Khattak.
