Pashtuns have had a big impact on South Asia. We can observe this from a simple fact that to give respect to someone a title of khan Bahadur was used.

the respect the word KHAN has is actually due to Mongols. Because The word KHAN was borrowed by Pashtuns from Mongols because of the fear Mongols had imposed over Central Asia.

The title Khan Bahadur was also bestowed by Mughals due to its Mongol origins. Otherwise this title had nothing to do with Pashtuns.

Khan Bahadur

The titles Khan (the lowest commonly awarded) and Khan Bahadur (Mongolic root baghatur, related to the Mongolian baatar (“brave, hero”); were also bestowed in feudal India by the Mughals (whose protocol was largely Persian-inspired) upon Muslims, and later by the British Raj, as an honor akin to the ranks of nobility, often for loyalty to the crown.
