Causes of Ashraf Khan Hijree’s Imprisonment by Mughals

�

Abstract: The role of Khushal Khan Khattak and his family

has been of great value in shifting the paradigm of Pashto

literature. Due to his fierce rivalry with the Mughal Empire especially in the era of Aurangzaib Allamgeer, several wars have been fought between the Mughals and Afghans. Ashraf Khan

Hijree (1044-1116 Hijree) the well-known classical poet and the eldest son of Khushal Khan have always fought in the leadership

of his father. In the last days of Khushal Khan, his most reliable and likeminded son Ashraf Khan was detained by Mughals till the last moments of his life. In this paper, the scholar has traced

history to figure out the reasons that caused Ashraf Khan Hijree’s imprisonment.
