Pashto literature & history
Pashto literature really begins in the 16th century. We have a trace dating from the 8th century, but it is controversial.
As the Pashtun territory was divided between the Mughal and Salavid empires, the literary model was Arabo-Persian. These include Bayazid Ansari (Khayr ul Bayan) and Bayazid Ansari (Pir Roshan) considered heretical. Khushal Khan Khattak (middle of the 17th century), is a warrior poet, considered as the father of Pashto literature.
In 1893 the British, in defining the border between their Indian colony and Afghanistan, split in two the territory of the Pashtun, who had founded the Afghan state 150 years ago. Afghanistan is a predominantly rural country of about ten ethnic groups, of which the Pashtun or Afghan or Pathan are the majority.
