Kalasha SOLE NON-MUSLIM INDIGENOUS PEOPLE OF PAKISTAN
AUTHOR; MUHAMMAD KASHIF ALI
PAGES:330
HARDCOVER
KALASHA: SOLE NON-MUSLIM INDIGENOUS PEOPLE OF PAKISTAN presents a historical and cultural study of the Kalasha people of the Hindu Kush, one of the world’s most distinctive surviving indigenous communities. Based on years of fieldwork and research, the book explores their history, religion, festivals, oral traditions, architecture, worldview, and cultural identity.Set in the valleys of Chitral, the work examines the survival of a pre-Islamic cultural tradition that has endured for centuries despite political, religious, and social transformations in the region. It highlights the Kalasha as custodians of an ancient heritage deeply connected with nature, spirituality, and collective memory.Combining historical scholarship with ethnographic insight, the book also discusses contemporary challenges including cultural change, social pressure, and heritage preservation, while emphasizing the importance of protecting Pakistan’s indigenous cultural diversity for future generations.
