Abstract: This article is an experiment with micro perspective about understanding of Pashtun public history in the presence of historiographic freedom and responsibility through applied history. The implication of historical theory in contemporary culture of concepts after cultural turn has deeply affected the climate of modernist historiography which demands objectivity in building meanings and rethinking memories. The question of modernist objective historical methodology perplexed the results in terms of interpretations and selection of sources. This analysis explored cultural subjectivity in the domain of public discourse through application and re-enactment of Pashtun public historiography as fundamental fabric of understanding. This paper is a minimal piece for understanding which can address issues and challenges in the practices of Pashtun public history in the presence of traditional objectivist historiography. Through the application of public perspective in historical studies can make knowledge of the past more relevant to the challenges we face today.
