په سوات کښې د پښتو شاعرۍ په ارتقاء کښې د مېرمنو برخه

Abstract
There is no denying the fact that the Valley of Swat, an epitome of natural beauty, has long been a hunting ground for world renowned historians, anthropologists and archeologists, alike. Equally, Swat is endowed by the Providence with fertile minds whose works enriched Pashto language and literature. This was not possible without the government patronage. The State of Swat, an autonomous state till mid twentieth century, played a substantial role in nourishing Pashto literature and language as its official language was Pashto. Owing to the fact, not only male writers contributed substantially but contribution of female writers was no less in quality, though less in quantity. The present study encompasses, though briefly, the role of female writers, especially poetesses, in the language and literature in the region of Swat. This study not only investigates the poetic works of senior female writers but also those done by the contemporary writers as well.
