Résumé anglais Justice and non-violent jihâd: the anti-colonial struggle in the North West frontier of British India - My paper considers one of the protest movements in the North West Frontier Province of British India, located near the sensitive zone separating the British and Russian Empires submitting therefore its population to punitive laws and measures. In the 1930s, the Pathans organised themselves into the Khudai Khidmatgar movement which rose against the severe curtailment of liberties. Until the nineteenth century, under other non-European regimes, the dispensation of justice had remained an intra-Pukhtun affair. Later on, however, the colonial administration modified traditional methods. I here look at the processes through which this battle for justice was fought.
