Four little girls from school

Four little girls from school
Four little Kalash girls in their traditional dress/ school uniform, returning home after school. The village of Bumburate, in the remote mountainous Kafiristan region of Pakistan right on the Afghan border, is home to Kalash people.. They are a small, non Muslim ethnic minority of about 4000 people in this region of Pakistan. They are animists, and wear their traditional clothing every day, even for work in the fields. They are under pressure to convert to Islam, but sufficient of them are managing so far to resist. They also make the most extraordinarily pure 90% mulberry vodka type of spirit…which is delicious and occasions much singing and dancing!

Vey Caucasian looking, they think these people might be descendants of Alexander the Great armies members?

They certainly are Aryan people….look very like Iranian people to me….but could be Alexander’s long lost tribe…..
