Frontier Gandhi

When   Gandhiji   started   Sevagram  Ashram,  he  invited  Khan  Abdul   Gaffar   Khan   popularly  known  as  the  Frontier  Gandhi,  to come and live with him for sometime.  Gaffar  Khan  lived in the  Adi  Nivas  in the ashram  with Gandhiji.  The Frontier  Gandhi  lead a simple  life of an  Ashramite. He used to  serve  the sick  also besides  attending to other duties. Though  looking  to his  habits  Gandhiji   had   permitted  him to eat  meat  yet,  he never  ate any  meat  and  followed  the  Ashram  discipline.  He  lived   like  a villager  and called  himself   'A  Servant  of  God'.
