{'frontier gandhi': [2, 0, 1, 0], 'indian history': [0, 0, 1, 2], 'khan abdul ghaffar khan': [1, 0, 3, 3], 'maulana abul kalain azad': [0, 0, 1, 0], 'fakhruddin ali ahmed': [2, 0, 1, 0], 'khaliquzzaman chaudhuri': [0, 0, 1, 0]}

The correct answer is option 2, Khan Abdul Ghaffar Khan. He is known as "Frontier Gandhi" because he was a prominent leader from the Northwest Frontier Province (now Khyber Pakhtunkhwa) in British India and was strongly influenced by Mahatma Gandhi`s ideology of non-violence.

Option 1, Maulana Abul Kalam Azad, was a prominent freedom fighter and the first education minister of independent India. He played a crucial role in the Indian independence movement but is not known as "Frontier Gandhi".

Option 3, Fakhruddin Ali Ahmed, was the fifth President of India. He played a significant role in Indian politics but is not associated with the title "Frontier Gandhi".

Option 4, Khaliquzzaman Chaudhuri, was a politician and a prominent leader of the All India Muslim League. He supported the creation of Pakistan and is not known by the title "Frontier Gandhi".

Therefore, option 2, Khan Abdul Ghaffar Khan, is the correct answer as he is known as "Frontier Gandhi" due to his commitment to non-violence and his efforts towards Indian independence.
