Abstract :The North West Frontier Province NWFP, being a strategic region of the Indo-Pak Subcontinent, played a very important role in the political upheavals in British India. Religion played a pivotal role in shaping events which took place in the region. The Pan-Islamic slogans raised in India, not only attracted the Muslims of the NWFP but it augmented their armed struggle against the British in a more forceful vigour. Consequently, they faced a more severe treatment from the British including several military expeditions against them. The role of Pan Islamic feelings in the resistance movements, launched in the province, has not been dealt properly by the researchers. In the following pages, an effort has been made to assess the role of these feelings in the on going armed struggle of the Pukhtuns; particularly in tribal areas North West of India against the British and also to bring out details of some of the personalities of the province who went to Turkey and contributed physically to the cause of Pan-Islamism
