An Uncertain Future for the Kalash People of Pakistan (2003)
Pakistan - Kalash of Cultures (2003) - In a remote part of northern Pakistan, a tribe believed to be descended from Alexander the Great is facing cultural annihilation.
Subscribe to Journeyman here: kzread.info_c...
As animists, the Kalash Kafirs live by cultural practices which clash with those of the Muslim Pakistanis’ that surround them. Their identity is constantly undermined by their Muslim neighbours. Help comes in the form of volunteers from Greece who believe that the Kalash people are part of their own ancient history and worth preserving. New facilities are being built but such help comes at a price. ”They are building in their own way…I think they should build like Kalash,” complains villager Mohammed. Whether fact or fiction, the Kalasha realise the commercial value of their founding myth and so are keen to preserve it. However, it is their spiritual life and beliefs that they feel are under threat by the growing hostility of fundamentalists. With jobs promised to those that convert, over 6,000 have reluctantly given up their bright national dress to become Muslim. For the Kalash people, both their past and future remain uncertain.

I am Pakistani and I feel the Kalash culture and people should be the feather in our cap. This is truly unique in every way and should be protected. They should be able to live freely, do as they please and get equal opportunites in every field. I would hate for them to see the same fate as their 'brothers' from the neighbouring Afghani villages.

Hindu Kush population was integral part of ancient India. Their custom resembles more of Hindu religion even today, Kashmiris are neighbors to them who also have similar customs. They have not descendent from other region, in fact its their own land. Islam rulers destroyed most innocent Hindus and occupied, converted many. Bad to hear this conversion is still alive. Hope these people find freedom one day. I believe this can happen if they unite back to India.

It's a tough situation. In order to preserve their culture, tourism is the best avenue to take, however, tourism changes the host culture. You can see this everywhere in developing countries, as tourism changes the life and culture of the host people. I think this is a small price to pay for financial independence in a changing world. Good luck to the Kalash people and hope that you can hold onto some of the simpler and beautiful parts of your culture that makes you unique.

They have to survive for the history of the subcontinent and the indigenous Aryan Race. The members of the great Aryan Race who follow an Aryan religion close to Hinduism-Zoroastrianism. These simple people are the original indigenous Aryans whom some people are trying to make them believe (as an agenda) by brainwashing that they are Albanians, Greeks, etc.they are neither of these. Alexander the Macedonian never set foot in this area, besides these people are lighter and taller than the average Greek. Alexander his troops spent time in Pakistani Punjab where many people are dark and short like the Greeks. Though they by large are neither Greek nor Macedonian. Their language is Dardic related to Shina and Kashmiri. These great people must survive and not get Semitized religiously either.

Well it’s been proven that these guys are not genetically Greek but what if they are related to the Tarim mummies? Those guys it turns out were remnants of the prehistoric population known as Ancient North Eurasian. A lot of people today are ANE descent. The Kalash could be mostly unmixed ANE who survived.

This is Culturecide. The Kalash is the only tribe left that is considered "pagan" (not in religious or new age terms) along with the Yezidi Kurds who are persecuted by isis terrorists, the turkish government and others and I think by now they have been driven away from the lands they used to live for centuries. Everything and everyone is going to be assimilated and history is being deleted. PS. beware of nazis in the comments and nationalist disinfo in general, this is a serious matter

As a person who is new to the existence of the Kalash people, I see that tourism is a double edged sword. Yes, it can greatly help them financially, however, there is the the potential cost of diluting the culture. As far as tourism being potential is another matter in itself. The safety of tourists is for sure on their minds. With the issues with India, the Taliban etc many Europeans and Westerners will not be willing to travel to these locations. As a person who has served in the US Military, I have seen many of these areas and I feel many of them are beautiful and most of the people are caring, want a normal life and have been very open to westerners. However, there is always the ones that will do what ever they can to bring in problems to the community which puts everyone at risk.

They are the last of their kind, similar people were nuristanis in afghanistan, they were forcibly converted very recently in 1890s. It just takes a few radicals to wipe out a community. Kashmiri pandits were in so big numbers and they have been wiped out completely , I fear same may happen to them. They should be protected as they give us a glimpse of the ancient religion of the indian subcontinent and also show us wonderful glimpse of our history. Mosques has been established there and maulvis have arrived there, maybe this is their last decade, you can clearly see, they are wearing traditional pathan dress(males) which is clearly imposed by pakistan and not their traditional dress, their language is almost extinct
Spellbound masterpiece.
They are not descendents of Alexander. They are ancient Aryan Tribes which was migrated long back from central Asia. Same Tribes are present in India's ladakh.

There were Hindus before division of India
This is a systematic and tactical process followed in China and Pakistan to completely irradicate the minorities Communities and other ethnicities or completely transform such Communities to their own homogeneity .
They are the original indigenous members of the Aryan Race. Their ethnicity, culture, language etc., is Aryan (Indo-European). They speak a Dardic tongue. It is hoped that though Islam is a fine Semitic religion these great people will not be Semitized religiously. God has made the planet colorful and diverse and it shall stay that way. They are being made to believe (via brainwashing) that they are Greeks or Macedonians they are neither just indigenous Aryans. Besides Alexander was not known to have entered this region after his battle with Porus he withdrew from the Indian subcontinent. Alexander was only in what is now the Pakistani Punjab.Whether Alexander or the great Kshatriya (Rajput) Porus won is surely not clear but both survived and Alexander withdrew.
@joek600

The outcome of the battle of Hydaspes was crystal clear. Alexander won though with severe casualties and his already tired troops once realizing the magnitude of a campaign in India revolted and demanded to go home. King Porus remained as a ruler of a client kingdom. I really dont understand why the Indian state gets so butthurt about this incident to the point of denying the outcome without providing ANY solid sources. The Kalash people are probably indigenous people caught up in a romantic background pressed upon them. Many of them seem to embrace it and it seems that they did had some oral traditions related to the passing by, Greek troops. Now the extend of a real tradition and a manufactured one due to their need for attention and financial help, I cant know. After all they are surrounded by foundamentalistic shitholes, for them to assume a ''glorious identity'' that resonates with the west might be a way to survive. Personaly I believe that they are indigenous people, it wouldnt be that far fetched for some of them to have a small percentage of Greek dna, but the researches until now do not support it. On a last note. Its mentioned (not by you) that Greeks try to highjack the Kalash people. Well... no. Actually there is absolutely no need to claim an obscure little group in the middle of nowhere. On the contrary it creates troubles and obligations that the Greek state is not willing to take on. The whole thing has a romantic charm and some private citizens might feel moved but thats the end of it. By chance it happened that a family friend married a Kalash woman, I dont know how they met he was a captain in the merchant navy. They moved to Greece and she continued to practice her religion which had some common elements with the ancient Greek one. Now was it a cultural remnant of the hellenistic era of Asia? Was it just a version of the proto-indoeuropean common cults? Im not in the place to say.

Kalash share genetic drift with the Paleolithic Siberian hunter-gatherers and might represent an extremely drifted ancient northern Eurasian population that also contributed to European and Near Eastern ancestry. Their traditional costumes and symbolism are similar to those from Russia and Ukraine.

It is a beautiful, ancient culture. It should be respected. While the Greek volunteers are beneficial, they should make sure not to impose, and those using Islam shouldn't act colonials towards Kalash people. It's not nice. It would be good if they get more outside support since they face prejudice locally in terms of getting jobs, support. It's shameful behavior.

What makes anyone think they are not happy as they are? They look like very happy and peaceful people. Why do people feel their way of life would be better for the Kalash? If that was the case they would have assimilated in the mainstream cultures centuries ago.
Very beautiful
Wow - they look like the Yazidi of Syria and Iraq as well. There is definitely human ties going back thousands of years.

Neither genetics nor linguistics show Kalash tribe are Greeks. They are original Indo Aryan tribe that got isolated in mountains 5000 years ago, so they retained the original Caucasian feature without mixing with lndian hunter gatherers races There were many tribes like this in northern pakistan until region was isalamized in 1885. The region was called kaffirstan for a reason Other Nuristanis look like them.
this is so funny how ancient indo iranian isolated and not mixed with turks and mongols people, made greeks believe that theyre descendants of Alexander lmao
Kalash are hindus, how long they will survive the Islamic fundamentalist forces.

To many historians, there is little evidence that they are descendents to Alexander the great but somewhere near the regions of Black Sea. However, it's sure those people are the engineers of Indo-Aryan tribes of northern part of Indian subcontinent. It is that people who are the founders of today's Indo-European languages all over the world.
1 Maccabees 1:7 So Alexander reigned twelves years, and then died. 1 Maccabees 1:8 And his servants bare rule every one in his place. 1 Maccabees 1:9 And after his death they all put crowns upon themselves; so did their sons after them many years: and evils were multiplied in the earth.

These are Central Asian indigenous Aryans and their language is linked to my language Kashmiri. Alexander the Macedonian never made it to this region and besides these people have nothing Greek or Macedonian in them and are being brainwashed to believe this. Their religion is a non-Semitic Aryan one. Besides Aryan mummies much earlier than Alexander have been found close to this region. Also: kzread.info/dash/bejne/e4qgsZmYp5mwgqQ.html
They are probably descendents of Kushanas (Tokharian people), that had mixed with the Indo-Greeks. The neighbouring "Nuristanis", descendents from the Kafirs (islamized by the British in 1895), have kept considering them as a very different population for centuries. Still 500 years ago there was, before Turkish attacks, a very large Kafiristan existed including current Nuristan and a vast part of Cachemire.
My heart cries for them😥

There is some exposure to Greeks but the Kalash culture is pre-Islamic Indian. Their customs are Aryan and perhaps, Vedic. Hopefully, they will preserve them. They should be pretected from being Islamized.

The kalash are undeniably Aryans and of Indian heritage in culture and traditions. They follow an ancient form of Hinduism. The muslims as usual try to steal and claim other people's history so they came up with fake story of the kalash being Greek descendants. Scientific studies have shown no Greek ancestry in the kalash people.

The Macedonian Alexander and all the other Greeks, along with all the other Caucasian ethnicities, originated from the Caucus Region of Eastern Iberia, which gave rise to the tribes which became the Persians. This tribe is of the same lineage.
