Kashmir, the kingdom of fairies and Paradise on World, has a history of being ruled by several dynasties. Hindu, Buddhist, and Muslim empires have all held power over it. Every dynasty has unique folk customs that reflect the character of that dynasty. A community's residents' way of life is referred to as its culture. Afghan and Kashmiri folklore is based on traditional drama, music, and other activities. The current study makes an effort to investigate the traditional view of Afghan authority in Kashmir from 1752 to 1819. Kashmir history demonstrates that several folk beliefs entered Kashmiri society at this time. In the age of Afghan rule, the perceptions of folk culture are supported by historical evidence like material and non-material sources, direct and indirect sources and oral traditional sources. This study highlights the Afghan folk literary work, plays (Raza Pather and Derza Pather) and traditional Kashmiri theatre (Bhand Pathers). The data used in this study is gathered from secondary sources.
