Pashto literature is a rich and diverse body of work that originates from the Pashto-speaking regions, primarily in Afghanistan and Pakistan. It encompasses various forms, including poetry, prose, and folklore, reflecting the culture, history, and values of the Pashtun people. Notable poets like Khushal Khan Khattak and Gul Khan Nasir have made significant contributions, often exploring themes of love, honor, and resistance. The literature has evolved over centuries, influenced by historical events and interactions with other cultures. Today, it continues to thrive, with modern writers and poets addressing contemporary issues while preserving traditional forms. This vibrant literary tradition plays a crucial role in the identity and heritage of the Pashto-speaking community.
