Great Ahmad Khan Durrani or Great Ahmad Shah Baba Abdali was born in 1722 and became the ruler of Afghanistan in 1747. He is the leader of the Abdali Empire and the founder of modern Afghanistan. Great Ahmad Shah Baba was the son of Zaman Khan, the tenth of Daulat Khan and the son of Sarmast Khan. Ahmed Shah Baba’s mother’s name was Mubaraka Zarghuna, she was born in Khata Alkozai. Zarghona Anna was a powerful, famous, resourceful and knowledgeable woman of the great history of the country. Sarmast Khan, Ahmad Shah’s father, was the grandson of Khizr Khan, the son of Sher Khan, and a descendant of Sadhu Khan, and Sadhu Khan is the first grandfather of Sadhu’s family.
Ahmad Shah Baba Abdali is also known as Ahmad Shah Baba Durrani. Wikipedia writes about Durrani Kalmi, (The book of Hayat Afghani states: “When Ahmad Shah was elected as the king of Afghanistan, Sabir Shah gave Malang the title of Duran, and then Ahmad Shah moved him to Duran due to his reputation. [12] However, the late Qazi Attaullah Khan in his book History of Pashtuns brought the above narration as follows: “Some people say that Ahmad Shah was a disciple of Mia Sahib of Kush. After becoming king, Mia Sahib visited Ahmad Shah. And he said to him, “Change the name of your whole tribe according to your kingly rank, and call yourself Dur Duran (a good friend of the allies) and your tribe Durrani, so he named Abdali tribe Durrani and called himself Durrani.” They adopted the title of Dur Duran, thus the tribe of Duran was formed and it came out in the history of the Pashtun tribes.
We have read about how the great Ahmad Shah came to power, but here we will briefly shed light on the battle of Panipat from the political power, rule, battles and victories of Ahmad Shah Baba. Panipat region of present India has experienced three major wars in its history. Panipat is a remote area about 90 kilometers from the capital of India, New Delhi, which is currently in Haryana state. The third battle of Panipat took place on January 14, 1761. This war was between the Maratha Empire and the Afghan prince Ahmad Shah Abdali. The battle of Panipat has been recorded in history as one of the biggest and most influential battles of the 18th century. This war lasted for several days, in which 125,000 soldiers from both sides participated. Although historians have conflicting information about the casualties of the Third Battle of Panipat, some figures show that more than 70,000 people were killed on both sides and tens of thousands more were injured, captured and disappeared.
Some sources have shown the number of soldiers and casualties in the battle of Panipat as follows:

This war ended in favor of the Afghans and the Islamic army under the leadership and direction of the great Ahmad Shah Baba.
Movie named Panipat:
For the past two years, Indian Bollywood cinema has been planning and making a story of a movie called Panipat, which is now nearing its release date. In the Panipat movie, the famous Bollywood actor Sanjay Dutt played the lead role. He plays the role of Ahmad Shah Baba in it, but not in the way that he is in reality, but based on the feeling he has with his country and the Marathas, Afghans and Ahmad Shah Baba have a negative, cruel and aggressive role and the Marathas. The army has been taught as defenders, protectors and oppressors.
The Panipat movie and Sanjay Dutt’s negative or positive role does not affect the personality, leadership, Islam and patriotism of the great Ahmad Shah Baba, nor does this work affect his personality, Afghan history and heroism. can harm But with this kind of work, Indian cinema is hostile to the Islamic world and introduces the booty captured on the battlefield as theft and theft.
