Pashto oral tradition

Pashto oral tradition is a rich cultural practice where stories, poetry, history, and values are transmitted verbally from generation to generation. It plays a vital role in preserving Pashtun identity, history, and social norms, especially in regions with limited written records. Oral storytelling, poetry recitations, and songs serve as primary means of cultural expression, fostering community bonds and reinforcing shared values. This tradition relies on skilled storytellers and poets who memorize and creatively present narratives, ensuring the continuity of Pashto heritage without relying heavily on written texts.
