THE OUTSIDERS  (English, Paperback, Translated By Somdev Chattopadhyay)

In Afghanistan, poetic expression exists for centuries. The great poet Rumi was an Afghan poet who used to write in the Dari language throughout his life. Several other poets were deeply influenced by Persian, Pashto, and Arabic Languages. Modern women generally write traditional Afghan poetic-form of two-liner rhythmic poetry known as Landay, consisting of a single couplet. In this book, some remarkable Farsi Dari poetries and Pashto Landay's have been placed together. This is a documentary rather than a translation work.
