Kalash People And Dangers Of Extinction:

Bells of extinction are ringing for the Kalash culture. In the valleys of kalasha in Chitral district of KPK province of Pakistan. These valleys are in a remote area of Pakistan. Its boundaries are connected with Afghanistan. These valleys are popular by the name of “Kafiristan” (the land of the infidels) among the masses.

The area of Afghanistan which is connected is known as “Nuristan” (the land of light). These valleys have a unique culture which is centuries old and still persist with all of its elements. Their religion is different from any other in the world and is a form of animism which is perhaps the most primitive form of faith. Now, these people are facing a threat to their existence as the approach in the area has become easy due to better roads and powerful vehicles.

Religious intolerance which is in rising generally in this region of the world is at climax here. Different religious adventurers from the Muslim and Christian faith are trying to convert these people in their way. Tourism has done no better but worst for the area and destroyed the delicate balance established in centuries.

Intruders have occupied the land of locals for making hotels and shopping areas and disturbed the overall fabric of the area. These people are waiting for someone powerful enough to protect them from the immense threat of extinction. Less than three thousands of Kalash are left and their gene pool is depleting at an alarming speed.

Culture of Kalash Valleys:

Kalasha Desh (the 3 Kalash valleys) is formed of 2 distinct cultural areas, the valleys of Rumbur and Bumburet forming one, and Birir depression the other, Birir valley being a lot of ancient of the 2.

Life of farmers starts very early in the morning. They first feed their cattle before the sun rise and then start their journey for farms on their bull carts with the rising sun. Early morning yellow light bath the whole area and the crops look a carpet of gold. Life is primitive but beautiful in rural Asia. Farmers are simple and hospitable people who love to serve the guests. These farmers are fond of folk singing and sing in loud tones while riding on the bull carts.
