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.

    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

    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.

    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.

Still 500 years ago there was, before Turkish attacks, a very large Kafiristan existed including current Nuristan and a vast part of Cachemire.

    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.

    Diese Nationalität hat eine Art Ähnlichkeit mit Illyrien, genauer gesagt mit Albanern, ich sage das, weil es in ihrer Sprache sowohl albanische Wörter als auch Tradition, diesen sagen und ausländischen Historiker gibt.
