Sindhi folklore (Sindhi: لوڪ ادب) is composed of folk traditions which have developed in Sindh over many centuries. Sindh thus possesses a wealth of folklore, including such well-known components as the traditional Watayo Faqir tales, the legend of Moriro, the epic tale of Dodo Chanesar and material relating to the hero Marui, imbuing it with its own distinctive local colour or flavour in relation to the folklore of its neighbouring states. The love story of Sassui, who pines for her lover Punhu, is known and sung in every Sindhi settlement. Yet further examples of the folklore of Sindh include the stories of Umar Marui and Suhuni Mehar.[3] Sindhi folk singers of both sexes have played a vital role in the preservation and transmission of Sindhi folklore. They sang the folktales of Sindh in songs with passion in every village of Sindh. Sindhi folklore has been compiled in a series of forty volumes under Sindhi Adabi Board's project of folklore and literature. This valuable project was accomplished by noted Sindhi scholar Nabi Bux Khan Baloch. The material for the project has been collected both from the oral traditions village folks and the written record. This folklore series deals with many different genres within Sindhi folklore and literature, including (among others) fables, fairy-tales, pseudo-historical romances, folk-poetry, folk songs, proverbs and riddles.
Baloch folklore (Balochi: بلوچ لوک) consists of folk traditions which have developed in Balochistan over many centuries.[4] The majority of such folk traditions are preserved in the Balochi or Brahui languages and deal with themes such as tragic love, resistance and war.[5] The Baloch are known to respect bravery and courage, as is required under the Baloch code of Baloch Mayur. Many Baloch tribal leaders (Tamandar) are honoured through folk songs and ballads, notably those Tamandar remembered for their zeal in defending the principle of ahot (protection).
Chitrali folklore (Khowar: کهووار لوک) encompasses folk traditions which have developed in the Chitral region of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. Tales from this region are centered on the supernatural realm of ghosts and spirits and the events related in them are usually said to have taken place on cold winter nights.[10]
Kashmiri folklore (Kashmiri: کٲشِرؠ لوک) are folk traditions that have developed in Pakistan-administered Azad Jammu and Kashmir and Indian-administered Jammu and Kashmir over a number of centuries. Kashmiri is rich in Persian words [12] and has a vast number of proverbs, riddles and idiomatic sayings that are frequently employed in everyday conversation.[13] Folk heroes and folktales reflect the social and political history of the Kashmiri people and their quest for a society based on the principles of justice and equality.[14]
Punjabi folklore (Punjabi: پنجابی قصه) is a tradition of Punjabi language oral story-telling that came to Punjab with the fusion of local people and migrants from the Arabian peninsula and contemporary Iran.[17] Where Qisse reflect an Islamic and/or Persian heritage of transmitting popular tales of love, valour, honour and moral integrity amongst Muslims, they matured out of the bounds of religion into a more secular form when it reached Punjab and added the existing pre-Islamic Punjabi culture and folklore to its entity.[17] The word qissa is an Arabic word meaning epic legend or a folk tale.
The Punjabi language is famous for its rich literature of qisse, most of the which are about love, passion, betrayal, sacrifice, social values and a common man's revolt against a larger system. In the Punjabi tradition, friendship, loyalty, love and qaul (verbal agreement or promise) are given utmost importance and most of the stories in the qisse hinge on these critical elements. Qisse are attributed to have inspired folk music in Punjabi and have added depth and richness to its delivery. These traditions were passed down generations in oral or written forms and were often recited, told as bedtime stories to children or performed musically as folk songs. Each qissa, if performed, has its unique requirements. A person able to sing or recite one may not necessarily transmit another.

Margalla hills echoed in the melodies and tunes of the mountain nightingales in a musical and cultural show that was arranged the by the Ghizar Social and Cutural Forum (GSCF) and Chitral Social and Cultural Forum (CSCF) with collaboration of the Lork-Virsa Islamabad. A mega event of the indigenous culture and the local music of Gilgit-Baltistan and Chitral was set up here in Islamabad with a purpose to celebrate the diversity in the music of Gilgit-Baltistan and Chitral coupled with spreading the message of peace, unity and progress.
A general observation that due to the technological advancements and the economic mobility the culture, music and languages of the regions of GB and Chitral are prone to the external trends which can unfortunately wash out the indigenous originality. In order to preserve and promote the eccentric culture, folk music and the endangered languages, the youth of Gilgit-Baltistan and Chitral are engaged in various activities of the kind that convey the messages of realization and awareness of the said issues.
This musical show was attended by hundreds of music-goers of GB&C residing in the twins cities and as it was a weekend so the families attended the event as well. The event was well-organized as it facilitated all and sundry to come and the stage and perform with the artists.
Rehmat Ali, a senior poet and singer of the Khowar language beautifully sang the melodious songs and played the sitar and his performance was highly encouraged and appreciated by the audience. Rehmat Ali has a grown a penchant to music as he started singing when he was hardly a teenager and now after the retirement from serving in the Pakistan Army, he is into the music with more enthusiasm and fervor. He paid tribute to the Shaheed(s) and Ghazi(s) of Kargil through his lively songs.
CHITRAL: In the rugged, picturesque mountains of Chitral, nestled in the far northern reaches of Pakistan, resides a unique community steeped in mystery and intrigue. The Kalash people, an ancient tribe known for its rich cultural tapestry and vibrant rituals, are a testament to the diversity of human civilization. This enigmatic group is the last surviving non-Islamic, Indo-European culture in the region, and they continue to preserve their distinct lifestyle amidst a predominantly Muslim society.
The Kalash tribe is a beacon of anthropological significance, with their unique blend of pagan beliefs, traditions, and customs standing out as a stark contrast in a region heavily influenced by Islam. This cultural juxtaposition, however, adds to the allure of the Kalash, drawing in anthropologists, historians, and tourists alike to explore their enigmatic existence.
During Chilam Joshi, the Kalash valleys echo with melodious chants, rhythmic drum beats, and the laughter of people absorbed in festivities. The Kalash women, adorned in their traditional black robes, embroidered with colorful threads and decorated with cowrie shells, participate in circle dances and sing age-old songs, passed down through generations. These mesmerizing dances and melodious songs are not just simple festivities, but a profound connection to their ancestral roots, nature, and their gods.
Kalash men, on the other hand, participate in wrestling matches, marksmanship contests, and other games showcasing their strength and skill. The spring festival is also a time when young Kalash men and women can choose their life partners, adding an exciting and joyous dimension to the event.
The Spring Festival is not merely a celebration; it is a living testament to the resilience of the Kalash people, their unique culture, and their commitment to preserving their heritage. Despite the pressures of modernization and the encroachment of external cultures, they have managed to retain their traditions and beliefs, offering a priceless glimpse into an almost-forgotten past.
As we celebrate the Spring Festival of the Kalash people, let us appreciate the rich cultural diversity that our world holds. The Kalash, with their distinct culture, traditions, and beliefs, remind us that the tapestry of human civilization is woven with a myriad of threads, each unique and valuable in its own right.
