The seminar with the participation of Afghan, Indian, Tajik and Pakistani scholars was organized by the Ministry of Information and Culture in Kabul. The participating scholars in the resolution have asked the Afghan authorities to introduce a subject in the educational curriculum for teaching Khan Abdul Ghafar Khan’s non-violence thoughts. Touching on the existing violence, the scholars have also asked for creation a center in the region which should enlighten the people about the philosophy of Pacha Khan. They also asked UNESCO to accept as a personality of peace and non-violence. The resolution asks the government of Afghanistan to allocate an award in the name of Pacha and given to those who serve the people. The resolution at the end asks the Ministry of Information and Culture to print the research papers of the scholars read out at the seminar and name some of the Kabul and Provincial Street after Khan Abdul Ghafar Khan.

      ^It's a regional pronunciation - notice how Hamid Karzai pronounces it "Pacha Khan" in Teri McLuhan's documentary a Torch For Peace.

      The Bacha Khan message is one we need to go back to over and over and every Pashtoon man, woman and child should know what he stood for and what his vision was. He was a man of peace, a man of faith, and man who loved his people, a man of charity and self-help. He wanted a different way for his people, free from the chains of the past and free from the manipulation of people who wished to use us as cannon fodder. This is why people bestowed the title of Bacha/Badshah/Pacha upon him.
      Remember how he wrote: نن پښتون تە ټـوپک نە ، د قلم ضرورت دى

      Perfect words.
