Pukhtu Tappay by Shaukat Swati

About Tappa
Tappa is the oldest and most popular form of Pashto folk literature. It is Tapa which
has remained the most useful source of expression of sentiments of Pashtuns especially female folk. According to leading scholarship, it is composed by women to encourage men in times of struggle and difficulties represents true sentiments of Pukhtun women. Tappa is also called mesray and while their performance styles differ, they form an integral part of the rich culture. According to historians, Pashto poetry, especially tappa, carried traces of Pukhtun civilisation and formed an inseparable part of Pukhtun tradition. Due to its brevity, tappa is also called landay. The longer forms such as badala, dastan and qissa are equally significant forms of oral traditions in Pashto literature and history.
