Red color is the color of the oldest party of Pashtuns called Khudai Khidmargars establised in 1920s...It is a kind of symbol of Pashtun nationalism....Now a days it is becoming popular among both men and women.

Talal, actually it has a diverse culture ideologically---Socially, its culture is tradtionalist and religious...Politically, it doesn't bring religion into politics at all------Of course, many of its members are religious...But you will find all type of people in it---very religious, secular, conservative, shia, sunnis, minorities, etc. etc...it is co-existence and tolerance---

In Bacha Khan Markaz Pekhawar, when it is prayer time, you find people lining up for prayers in large numbers including leadership.

How do you translate Khidmargars?

Khudai Khidmatgar means "Servents of God" ---Khidmatgars mean servents ---Khudai Khidmatgar was a socilialist, political reformist movement established by Bacha Khan to reform Pashtun society and to struggle aganist British Imperialism.

"Khan Abdul Ghaffar Khan (1890 - 20 January 1988) (Pashto: خان عبدالغفار خان, Hindi: ख़ान अब्दुल ग़फ़्फ़ार ख़ान) was an Afghan, Pashtun political and spiritual leader known for his non-violent opposition to British Rule in India. A lifelong pacifist, a devout Muslim,[1] and a close friend of Mohandas Gandhi, he was also known as Fakhri Afghan ("The Afghan pride"), Badshah Khan (also Bacha Khan, Pashto: lit., "King Khan") and Sarhaddi Gandhi (Urdu, Hindi lit., "Frontier Gandhi").
He was initially encouraged by his family to join the British Indian Army; however the treatment of a British Raj officer towards a native offended him, and a family decision for him to study in England was put off after his mother's intervention.
Having witnessed the repeated failure of revolts against the British Raj, he decided social activism and reform would be more beneficial for Pashtuns. This ultimately led to the formation of the Khudai Khidmatgar movement (Servants of God). The movement's success triggered a harsh crackdown against him and his supporters and he was sent into exile. It was at this stage in the late 1920s that he formed an alliance with Gandhi and the Indian National Congress. This alliance was to last till the 1947 partition of India...."
