He was a great believer in the teachings of Mahatma Gandhi; he participated with him in India\u2019s Independence movements like Salt Satyagrah and Red Shirts\u2019 Movement.<\/p>\n<p>In 1929, against British Empire,  Khan Abdul Ghaff\u0101r Khan started the movement \u2018Khudai Khidmatgar\u2019 (\u201cServants of God\u201d). When demand was made for the partition of India, Bacha Khan strongly opposed the same. In 1920s, he started \u201cRed Shirts\u201d movement to achieve a goal of independent, secular and united India.<\/p>\n<p>For his great contribution and devotion to the country, Khan Abdul Ghaff\u0101r Khan was awarded the Bharat Ratna in 1987.

It came into existence on 2nd January 1954. The award was in recognition of extraordinary performance in the field of literature, science, public services, and arts only. This award belongs to all people of India without any discrimination of sex, race, and age. Previously award belonged to only limited criteria but in December 2011 the criteria were changed to include all fields of human endeavour.<\/p>\n<p>Maximum 3 nominees may be awarded per year and recommendations for the same are specially made by the PM to the President. A Sanad (certificate) signed by the President and a medallion in the shape of a peepal leaf are the only two things being given to the recipients; no money is granted with the award.<\/p>\n<p>In the Indian order of precedence, the Bharat Ratna award comes in the seventh position. But Bharat Ratna recipients are constitutionally prohibited to use the award name as the title as per Article 18 of the Constitution of India.<\/p>\n<p>Since 1954, 44 distinguished individuals have been awarded this prestigious and highest civilian award in the country.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kh\u0101n Abdul Ghaff\u0101r Kh\u0101n Khan Abdul Ghaff\u0101r Khan (nicknamed as Bacha Khan) was born on 6 February 1890.
