A brief research review of the dissension between Khushal Khan khattak and Bahram Khan

Abstract

Khushal Khan Khattak, the eminent Pashto poet and leader, has vividly portrayed
numerous aspects of his sons' lives in his poetry, documenting their birth,
education, training, and practical endeavors. Among his sons, Bahram Khan stands
out as a significant yet divisive figure, whose involvement in political affairs from
the early days of Khushal Khan’s leadership led to frequent conflicts and
disagreements with his father.
This article explores the intricate dynamics of the father-son relationship, focusing
on their differences and political rivalries. By examining these aspects, the study
provides a deeper understanding of the familial and political tensions of the time.
This research will serve as a valuable resource for both researchers and students,
offering insights into the interplay of personal and political relationships in Khushal
Khan’s era.
