Comrade Time :
What happened? On 12 August 1948, a large gathering of supporters of the Khudai Khidmatgar (Red Shirt) movement, associated with Khan Abdul Ghaffar Khan, gathered at Babrra in Charsadda, then part of the North-West Frontier Province (NWFP), now Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. The protesters were objecting to the arrest of Khudai Khidmatgar leaders, including Bacha Khan and former NWFP premier Dr. Khan Sahib, as well as government restrictions on the movement. The provincial government had also introduced measures allowing detention without giving a reason. � Wikipedia +1 The provincial government was headed by Abdul Qayyum Khan Kashmiri. Police and other state forces opened fire on the protesters. How many people were killed? This is one of the most disputed parts of the history. Official figures: approximately 15 killed and 40 injured. Khudai Khidmatgar accounts: approximately 150 killed and 400 injured. Other Khudai Khidmatgar sources and later accounts give figures of 600+ killed and around 1,200 injured. � Wikipedia +2 Because there was no independent investigation that established a universally accepted casualty figure, the exact number remains disputed. What happened afterward? The consequences were significant. In September 1948, the central government banned the Khudai Khidmatgar movement, and many of its members were arrested. The movement's centre at Sardaryab, Charsadda, was also destroyed by the provincial government. � Bacha Khan Trust +1 The incident subsequently became a major symbol of state repression in Pashtun political memory and is often referred to as "د بابړې خونړۍ پېښه" (Da Babray Khonray Pekha) — the bloody incident of Babrra. One important point is that Babrra was not simply a clash between two armed groups. The central historical dispute concerns the government's use of lethal force against a political gathering and the enormous disagreement over the number of civilians killed. If you want, I can also explain � the complete background from 1947 to 1948 — why Bacha Khan opposed the new provincial government, why Abdul Qayyum Khan came to power, what happened on 12 August, and what Jinnah's government did afterward, in chronological order.
