Abstract = {A passionate devotee of freedom and liberty, Abdul Ghani Khan, remained a victim of colonialism and internal colonialism during his life time. Therefore, a sizable section of his works (prose and poetry) reflects anti-colonialism, a protest or struggle against the colonial rulers and their policies during the British Raj. His first book, The Pathans, his essays and columns published in the Monthly Pakhtun, his speeches in the Parliament of British colonized India and his poetry, have a clear message of struggle against the British colonizers. As an anti-colonialist, he raised his voice and persuaded his people to revolt against the savage policies of the British rulers and get their rights through violence and revolution. Ghani Khan’s philosophy of resistance is quite close to Frantz Fanon (1925-1961). His hatred against the savagery of the colonial period reflects his sentiments about the atrocities of the British exploiters. The focus of this research paper is to identify and highlight the anticolonial discourse in the prose and poetry of Ghani Khan. },
