HISTORY AND CULTURE OF MARWAT TRIBE IN KHYBER PAKHTUNKHWA, PAKISTAN.

In recent past, the Subaltern Studies have been emerged as an interesting subject on the horizon of historical knowledge. This research paper, too, is focused on the subaltern history and culture of a Pakistani ethnic tribe known as Marts. Majority of the Marwats' population is rural having an enriched intangible heritage of indigenous histories and cultures. This heritage is fading along with the death of older indigenous generations and their younger generations are not only ignorant of it but also less interested in it. They consider it as a backward and useless discourse of history. They feel shy of it whenever they come across it incidentally, despite the fact that their present is deeply rooted within their past. Hence, this research paper is an attempt to preserve the history and culture of Marwat tribe in the pages of history as precisely as possible for the forthcoming generations of Pakistan.
