    Pashtun writers of the last century

    Salamoona..

    I want to provide you with a list of the most important and prominent Pashtun poets and writers of the last century. Many of them were Pashtun activists and Weesh Zalmyan.
    This monumental work on over 1000 pages was compiled by Ustad Abdul Rauf Benawa.

    The list is taken from Benawas book 'Wosanay Leekwal' which I bought in Jalalabad.

    For those who can't read Pashto, the book includes biographies of the original Weesh Zalmyan founders like Ghulam Mohayuddin Zurmulwal, Gul Pacha Ulfat, Ghulam Sapee, Qyamuddin Khadem, Ustad Khwakhozhi, Noor Mohammad Tarakee, Gul Khan Mohmand Baba, famous scholars like Abdulhay Habibi, Siddiqullah Reshteen, Abdulrahman Pezhwak, Abdulshakoor Reshad, Hassan Kakar, great underground poets from Kandahar and of course prominent poets like Ghani Khan, Ajmal Khattak etc, etc, etc.

    I will pick some authors and post their work and their biography from time to time, of course I accept requests.

      Darweshkhel, was Weesh Zalmiyaan active outside of Kandahar as well? My great grandfather was a major figure in Weesh Zalmiyaan, I was wondering if you could shed some light on its current agenda.

      Also, are these writers from both Lar and Bar? You said you accept requests, my request is to post all.
      Even Adobe Photoshop can't change me.

      A line[Durrand line] of hatred that raised a wall between the two brothers -Hamid Karzai

      For generations, the Hindus of India prayed for deliverance from "the venom of the cobra, the teeth of the tiger and the vengeance of the Afghan."


      The men of Kábul and Khilj also went home; and whenever they were questioned about the Musulmáns of the Kohistán (the mountains), and how matters stood there, they said, "Don't call it Kohistán, but Afghánistán; for there is nothing there but Afgháns and disturbances." Thus it is clear that for this reason the people of the country call their home in their own language Afghánistán, and themselves Afgháns. The people of India call them Patán; but the reason for this is not known. But it occurs to me, that when, under the rule of Muhammadan sovereigns, Musulmáns first came to the city of Patná, and dwelt there, the people of India (for that reason) called them Patáns—but God knows!

      -Ferishta, 1560–1620

        Of course it was Admina but Wesh Zalmyan doesnt exist in its original form anymore.
        The original Wesh Zalmyan was formed in 1947 and their first members were:

        From Kandahar and Farah: Pohand Abdul Hai Habibi, Ustad Abdul Rauf Benawa, Faiz Mohammad Angar, Mohammad Rasul Khan Pushtoon, Pohand Abdul Shakoor Reshad, Ustad Mohammad Ibrahim Khwakhuzhi and Abdul Razaq Farahi.

        From Ningarhar: (now Laghman) Ustad Gul Patscha Ulfat, Ustad Qyamuddin Khadim, Pohand Siddiqullah Rishteen and Ghulam Hassan Khan Selab Safi.

        Ghazni: Noor Mohammad Tarakee.

        Paktia: Nek Mohammad Paktianai and Ghulam Mahayuddin Zarmalwal.

        Kabul: Meer Mohammad Ghobar.

        PS: Your great grandfather is a hero.
