This weekend we observed Martin King Luther day, MLK, a man inspired by Gandhi, in 1963 March on Washington make specific demands of civil rights, most of which have been meet today. But before him in history was a man also inspired by the non-violent movement of Gandhi, and personally worked along his side. But most of his demands have yet to be met.

The oath to his army went like this:

I am a khudai khidmatgar; and as God needs no service, but serving his creation is serving him, I promise to serve humanity in the name of God.
I promise to refrain from violence and from taking revenge.
I promise to refrain from taking part in feuds and quarrels and f rom creating enmity
I promise to treat every Pathan as my brother and friend
I promise to refrain from antisocial customs and practices
I promise to live a simple life, to practice virtue and to refrain from evil.
I promise to practice good manners and good behavior and not to lead a life of idleness. I promise to devote at least two hours a day to social work.

A Pashtoon born with religion, poetry and music. His hard life always finds expressions in tappa. It is not only hard life, but his romance and even religion is channelized through saying or singing of tappa. Many singers have sung tappa in their own styles but when Haroon Bacha gave his voice to it, Pashto tappa touched new heights.
