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!

Hope they will be able to resist… why do religions always have to convert and dominate one another… belief shouldn’t lead to that.
If I was to believe in anything I would be animist, nature is my temple, I might choose a tree for “god”

Ah, don't they look lovely in their traditional dress...........so colourful. The all look pretty happy to have their photo taken as well. Such a wonderful shot Diana.

I would probably be singing and dancing a lot if I were to drink some of that vodka type spirit as well :-)))

Oh they are adorable in their traditional dress Diana. They look happy to have their photos taken too and have lovely smiles.

I think I might have a lovely smile too, - or maybe just a silly grin- if I sampled the mulberry vodka!!!!

I wish them strength to resist the pressure to convert to Islam.

Well captured, - a beautiful and colourful image.

A wonderful and interesting picture, which I like very much!
Very nice composition.
So nice that they are resisting pressures from outside which would destroy this way of life and their freedom.

How beautiful are the little girls in their traditional clothes. I didn't know about the existence of this ethnic group in Pakistan. Not many... I hope that their culture resists as it is and that they are not Islamized by force of the majority. Thanks for sharing, Diana.

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…..

Apparently, the Kalash are the last living descendants of Alexander the Great’s army, who, after conquering half the known world, decided to settle down in a remote mountain valley to make mulberry wine and throw epic dance parties.

They make an amazing mulberry vodka which is really delicious..on the 2 occasions we have been there we leave with 2L coke bottles full of it to drink on our journeying. ( Pakistan does not sell alcohol) . We travel with a fab Pakistani friend so get to see and do much which is very invisible to many visitors.
