Editorial annotation
Analytical overview, consulted via citation rather than primary Afghan or Pakistani government records, on Khan Abdul Ghaffar Khan's Khudai Khidmatgar ("Red Shirts") movement, his June 1947 Bannu Declaration demanding a Pashtunistan option in the North-West Frontier Province referendum, the Khudai Khidmatgars' boycott of that referendum, and Afghanistan's post-1947 rejection of the Durand Line as an imposed colonial boundary.
