Parsikla studies medicine in a city a few hours from her village. During vacations, when she returns home, she loves to immerse herself in the traditions of her Kalash ethnicity. As soon as she arrives, she goes to the river to wash and braid her hair. Then she dresses in traditional clothing, like all women in this community. It’s not just about following traditions, but more than anything, about her profound love to her roots. Parsikla’s commitment to her Kalash heritage is an example of the deep connection that people all over the world share with their roots.

Teacher Noorzia Khan, 16, writes letters from the Kalasha alphabet on a blackboard during a lesson at the Kalasha Dur school and community centre in Brun village, located in Bumboret Kalash valley October 13, 2011.
The Kalash are the last survivors of the people of Kafiristan -- or Land of Unbelievers, an area that encompassed northwest Pakistan and eastern Afghanistan before the region was divided by the Durand Line, the border established between Afghanistan and British India in the 19th century. The Kalash in Pakistan share close cultural and linguistic links with their kin in Afghanistan known as Nuristanis, who live mostly in the eastern province of Nuristan. The inhabitants of Kafiristan were repeatedly targeted by successive Afghan kings who ransacked the area and forced locals to convert to Islam. The name of the area was subsequently changed to Nuristan, which means land of the enlightened. The Kalash, who remained in British India and then Pakistan, were shielded by the border.

Kalash people: Pakistan's Smallest Ethnic Minority
Tumblr media
The Kalash people are a Pakistani ethnoreligious group. Having a population of only around 3500, they are one of the smallest ethnic groups in Pakistan.
Where do the Kalash people live?
The Kalash people live in the Kalasha valleys of the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province in Pakistan, bordering the Afghan province of Nuristan. The Nuristanis of that region are considered to be ethnically and culturally related to the Kalash.
Who are the Kalash people descended from?
The Kalash people believe themselves to be descended from Alexander the Great's troops. Some genetic evidence however, claims the contrary (while some affirms it). Other scientists claim that the Kalash people are purely South Asian.
How do the Kalash people identify religiously?
Roughly half of the Kalash people are mostly muslim, after historically being forcibly converted as result of Abdul Rahman Khan's rule. The rest are mostly practicioners of the polytheistic, animist Kalash religion
Kalash celebrations / Chilam Joshi
The Kalash people have three main festivals, listed and described below:
Chilam Joshi
Chilam Joshi (also called "milk day" or "yogurt drink day"). During Chilam Joshi, men and women meet in hopes of finding a spouse. This festival is celebrated with drums and dancing. In 2022, this festival was celebrated from 14 May - 18 May.
2. Uchau
Uchau is celebrated during summer to "thank nature for blessing [the Kalash people] with the harvest season". This festival will be celebrated in 2022 from August 20th to August 24th.
3. Chawmos
During this festival, the Kalash people chant to the Balmain spirit of the Kalash religion. The Kalash people feast, up until the community elders declare the new year. Once they have declared the new year, boys and girls divide and make a bonfire. In 2022, this festival will be celebrated from 16 December to 22 December.
Kalash Clothing
Kalash clothing is very vibrant, often characterized by it's bright designs on dark fabric.
