Ghazi Khan Umra Khan of Jandol (c. 1860 – 1904), also called "The Afghan Napoleon", was an Afghan Pashtun chief on the north-western frontier of British India, who was chiefly responsible for the Chitral Expedition of 1895 sent by the British authorities to relieve the fort at Chitral. The expedition resulted in a British victory and Umra fled to Afghanistan. Umra was the Khan of Jandol and captured the state of Dir and reigned as its Nawab from 1890 to 1895.
