Takkar massacre
The Takkar massacre () was a massacre of non-violent Pashtun protesters committed by the British Indian Army in Mardan, British India on 28 May 1930, just a month after the Qissa Khwani massacre in Peshawar. The firing happened at Takkar in Mardan Tehsil when local villagers attempted to stop soldiers from arresting activists of the Khudai Khidmatgar movement. In the ensuing shooting an English police officer called Murphy was killed. Three days later, a large force of troops attacked the village in retaliation. Takkar was immortalised and folksongs were written to remember the tragedy. "Pa Takkar jang de golay warege," is still a popular and sorrowful folksong that depicted the village scene on the day of the British offensive on Takkar. According to the Pashto book Da Khpal Waakaye Tarun, 70 people were killed and 150 wounded in the massacre. A monument has been built in order to preserve the memories of those who died in the massacre. Some of the dead were identified as Juma Syed, Sanobar Kaka, Said Buland Kaka, Zarawar Khan and Baghi Shah. See also
