Why is Bacha Khan buried in Jalalabad?

[Baygham]

such a decision (to announce all pashtoons as bonafide citizens of Afghanistan) is impossible for Afghanistan in the present scenario. I know it will imflamm more the situation. Such a decision can be taken at right time. Pakistan army and estalishment, is really really enemy of pakhtuns. Pakhtuns are very fond of money and can be purchased very nicely and easily, therefore the pashtuns who are getting benifits from pakistan are Pakistani till they are in job, and after retirement they turned nationalists.

However, I am really sorry for diverting the topic, I am extremely sorry.

Prior to the russian invasion a citizen of pakistan showing dressed like a pashtoon and speaking pashtoo was never stopped on the border at torkam. Other required a card from the embassy. Those with tribal area papers could get afghan nationality by just showign that, if I am not incorrect.
the russians as well considered pakhtunkhwa as 'disputed territories' and any afghan scholarships available for afghans could also be availed by residents of disputed territories.

The government of Afghanistan should announce that all Pashtuns/Afghans living any where in the world are the bona fide citizens of Afghanistan and can have the citizenship documents like National identity cards and Passports. The same is done by Israel for all the jews of the world.

taliban had a policy like that for all Muslims around the world.

Why is Bacha Khan buried in Jalalabad? Why not Pakistan? Is it because he knew Pakistan is a nation of traitors and terrorists?

Maybe he wanted to have his grave secured by his communist allies who were about to take over Afghanistan and build his grave like the moseleum of Lenin in Red Square?

Just a theory...i wouldn't know.

i went to pay respect to him in 2008. to be honest i didn't know much about him. my mother took us. it's so so sad the way he is buried there. it was a huge yard and then a dark room with his grave inside it. there was an old man who said that people always came with promises of building the place but then never showed up again.

I would like to say here that bacha khan trust, which is running about 15 schools in different districts of Khyber Pakhtoonkhwa, have planned the mouseleum at his mazar, accompanied with a research centre, a library, a masoque, a school and a hospital. It will be started soon. It is not allowed for every one to build anything. It is a planned project and will be done with plan.

[IamDZJ]

I think it had a lot to do with how we was treated in Pakistan. Erlangner, BLS, LZ, Mahzala and many others beautifully elaborated on this. Him being buried in Afghanistan in my opinion represents unity. It shows that we are one people. Whether he is buried in Kabul, Jalalabad or Swat, Peshawar its the land of the Pashtuns whom ultimately are the same people.

I don't really care what a Punjabi, Tajik or Sindhi thinks of him all that matters is that he preached unity and he wanted to see lar aw bar unify under a common banner.

I met Teri McCluhan last year at the Abu Dhabi International film festival. Teri McCluhan, of course is a great Bacha Khan admirer and the woman behind the film Torch for Peace that has picked up lots of acclaim by Pashtoons and non-Pashtoons alike. Here is a woman who posed the question directly to the descendants of Bacha Khan and the one line in the film that speaks volumes is spoken by a female member of the Bacha Khan family. On his death bed, knowing that it would be difficult for his family to cross borders to tend to his grave when asked why he wanted to be buried in JalalAbad, Bacha Khan said to his daughters: "One day this will all be one."

InshAllah.

This has already been done. Pashtuns from the tribal areas (Central Pashtunkhwa) are given Qayaeli Cards which make them equal citizens of Afghanistan. If a Pashtun from Pashtunkhwa denounces his Pakistani nationality, he/she can legally claim the citizenship of Afghanistan.

bacha khan spent most of his exciled in afghanistan, he was highly respected and loved by afghans, then he did not want to be burried on occupied land, according to his will, he donated 80 acres of his land and all his money for the betterment of pashtun and their education.
