Pashto folklore

Pashto folklore encompasses a rich tapestry of oral traditions, stories, poetry, and legends from the Pashtun people of Afghanistan and Pakistan. It reflects their history, values, hospitality, bravery, and sense of justice. Central themes include heroic tales of legendary figures, poetic expressions of love and patriotism, and moral lessons passed down through generations. Songs, ballads, and epic narratives often feature cultural symbols like the Pashtunwali code and the importance of community loyalty. These stories serve to preserve identity, teach virtues, and foster a sense of shared heritage among the Pashto-speaking people.
