Muhammad Gul Khan Mohmand (b. 1885) was the Minister of Interior of Afghanistan in the 1930s appointed by Mohammed Nadir Shah. Mohmand was a fierce Pashtun nationalist.[1] Mohmand enforced a central government policy of political and cultural discrimination against non-Pashtuns.[1] He was also assigned as "special envoy to northern Afghanistan"[1] where he pushed for Pashtunization of the region (i.e. settling Pashtuns, often by force, in the north).[2] Other schemes of Pashtunization included changing the lingua franca of the region from Persian to Pashto.[3]
