What is it about?
Swat is rich in terms of socio-cultural history. The valley has seen phenomenal political and cultural changes throughout history which in turn have effected a sort of cultural fusion. This historical hybridity is more visible in folk cultural features such as tales, recitals and folklore. This study is all about this phenomena.
