grave." Khushal Khan was born near Peshawar, the son of Shahbaz Khan,

Jehan, Khushhal succeeded his father in 1641, but Aurangzeb, Shah Jehan's
successor, kept him a prisoner in the Gwaliar fortress in Delhi. After
Khushhal was permitted to return to Peshawar he incited the Pashtuns to
rebel. His grave carries the inscription: "I have taken up the sword
to defend the pride of the Afghan, I am Khushhal Khatak, the honorable man
of the age." The Khatak tribe of Khushhal Khan now lives in the areas

of his art of poetry, literature and documents.Khoschal Khan Khattak has
discussed different aspects of the life in his literature. He intends to
take the positive and negative sides of his people with all clarity and
without a sheet in front of the mouth shown. He knew psychology of his
people and knew how to praise and to rebuke skilfully. He has aimed like a
society critic on the Außdärung and sensitization of the people. He has
already advertised education and education of the women and also developed
a concept for this 400 years ago. His concept contains the physical,
intellectual, spiritual and of character forming of the children and
youths but also the adults by adult formation. The philosopher Khoschal
Khan Khatak has the education the training taken to the consideration like
the inner operation in this trained like the result of the educator
activity according to the activity. Of his concept which rather is as a

young people, a scheduled and aim full action is important to demand
intellectually, moral and physical and train to responsibility conscious
and strong-minded personalities her with all her abilities and strengths.
Khoschal Khan Khattak hasn't seen the individual education and the social
education as a contrast but was of the opinion that all individual
education happens in the social room and all social education focuses on
the single personality. Conditions of fertile education activity belong

theories for the unity of the afghan, resistance against the foreign parts
and the creation of a nation-state. He has explained the manifesto of such
a state in his very famous work Dastarnameh. This work has large social,
historical and philosophical trains. He has many works written which

verses. In his works ideas, which are comparable with the works of western
scholars, exist particularly in the range education and they are education
identically. The Afghan literature scientist Mohammad Siddiq Rohi has
compared some of his works with the works of western writers and to this
result has come that some education theories of Khoschal Khattak with a
John Locke and Johann Comenius agree. A critical poet is Khoschal Khan in
his collections and also in two books, named Feraqnameh and Swatnameh many
social, literary and political examples are mentioned. He criticizes the
deeds of the Indian court with a large fate with his Mogulherrschern.

boisterous poet he was a prince and leaders of his tribe simultaneously.
His forefathers were since the 16th century officers of the Mogul court
and checked the gate to India. After the death of his father Shahbaz Khan
he became the leader of his tribe and an officer of the Mogulhofs. The
Mogulherrscher shah Jahan appreciated his principality and sent to him of
Delhi from an edict as a confirmation. It has to be mentioned that the
eastern part of Afghanistan’s to Kabul under the influence of the Mogul
Kaiser was and was called province Kabul between the 16. And 17. Century.

appeared to the Indian court. Aurangzeb has arrested Khoschal Khan Khattak
with a pretext in Peshawar and sent him as a prisoner to Delhi. There he
has as a prisoner or later and-Delhi-spent under detention in the
mountains prison Antabur and then in Agra five years of his life at first.
