- Muhammad Gul Khan Mohmand
Muhammad Gul Khan Mohmand (born 1885) was the Minister of Interior of Afghanistan in the 1930s appointed by Mohammed Nadir Shah. Mohmand was a fierce Pashtun nationalist.[cite book |title=Bartered Brides: Politics, Gender and Marriage in an Afghan Tribal Society |last=Tapper |first=Nancy |url=http://books.google.com/books?id=TE5yLXd_iCIC |year=1991 |publisher=Cambridge UniversityPress |location=United States |isbn=0521381584 |pages=331 "Despite fiercely pro-Pashtun sentiments, Muhammad Gul Khan refused to countenance the oppression perpetuated by the Khans. He balanced the domination of Durrani from Kandahar by introducing many more eastern Pashtuns to the area (especially as landowners between Aqcha and Balkh), and he appears to have dealt fairly with petitions against the Nazarzai brought by Uzbeks and Aymaks from throughout the Saripul region and its hinterland." p. 34] Mohmand enforced a central government policy of political and cultural discrimination against non-Pashtuns.][cite book |title=Muqarnas: An Annual on the Visual Culture of the Islamic World |last=Necipoglu |first=Gulru |url=http://books.google.com/books?id=UJc2u33fCKQC |year=2002 |publisher=BRILL |location= |isbn=9004125930 |pages= p. 87] He was also assigned as "special envoy to northern Afghanistan"] References
