It is to clarify here that sometimes questions are narrowed down to a certain facet of a poet's poetry like RAZMIYA SHAIRI OF KHOSHAL BABA, while sometimes a poet's contribution to the language is asked. More often, general question on the poetry of a poet is asked. Pohana is the best source for OLD AND NEW POETRY.

For local poets as well as different concepts of Pashtun Zwak like JIRGA, MARAKA, aspirants should read books, ADABI LARA and Hasan Khan Atal's book.

World of Reading CEO, Cindy Tracy, could not find the books she wanted for her children. So, in 1989, she started sourcing and selling quality foreign language and ESL books for parents, teachers and others. Today, Ms Tracy is a familiar and welcome presence at conferences and trade shows all across America.

Women's rights activist Shafiqa Khpalwak is hoping to change public attitudes in Afghanistan with her newly released Pashto-language translation of Women Who Work, the 2017 book by U.S. President Donald Trump's daughter and adviser, Ivanka.

"I did translate this book to encourage the Afghan women to take the leadership role in the society," Khpalwak said in a telephone interview with VOA's Afghan Service. Ivanka Trump has said she wrote the book to motivate women to come forward and play leadership roles in economic life of their communities.

That impact may be limited because Afghanistan is rated by the United Nations as having the lowest literacy rate in the world. An estimated 31 percent of Afghans over age 15 are able to read, a figure that drops to just 17 percent for women, according to the U.N. Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO).

However, the book's publishers in Kabul say the reading market has increased recently and that people are showing greater interest in books by Western writers translated into Pashto and Dari. Other American leaders whose books are now available in Pashto include President Trump and former presidential candidate Hillary Clinton.

Afghanistan is a patriarchal society where women are seldom seen in positions of authority. However, Khpalwak said, "I have found this book highly motivational. The women of Afghanistan will surely be inspired and motivated to take charge of their own lives, put things in perspective and bring the change they are seeking."

She described the experience of translating books into her native language empowering and an excellent way to learn about other cultures. "It also has a scope to change one's perspective about their cultures and traditions and offers you flexibility to adopt and embrace foreign ideas."

Khpalwak said young Afghan women especially are showing an interest in reading books from other cultures and that these books "could help them find their way in a conservative society like Afghanistan."

"I enjoy reading international books in my mother language. Pashto versions of such books for people who can't read English is a gift by the translators. After reading Ivanka's book, I am feeling motivated to work and to lead," she said.

Ikram, the owner of Khatez Book Publishing Association in the eastern city of Jalalabad, says he increasingly hears from readers looking for new books translated from English and other languages into Pashto and Dari. However, there are no centrally compiled statistics to show how many such books exist.

Books can serve as both windows and mirrors to understanding diverse identities. When children can see themselves in books, they develop a greater understanding and appreciation of their individuality, their community, and their culture. Children can also be encouraged to read more when they recognize characters from their own culture. For refugees, culturally diverse and inclusive books help them maintain, and share, a personal cultural connection despite the distance from their homes. Diverse representation in books can also be a window for other readers to understand the cultural practices and values of other communities.
