The Kafirs of the Hindu Kush


Kafirs of the Hindu Kush is the famous book by George Robertson written more than one hundred years ago on the Kalash living in Beshgal [Nooristan]. However, the remnant of those Kafirs, the Kalash are still living in the Hindu Kush with a proud display of thier rich and colourful culture, which has been accepted as world's real heritage. But it is really sorrowful to metion that this culture is about to disappear in near future should serious efforts aimed at its protection will not be undertaken. This way the world will be deprived one of the oldest cultural heritage, with Chitral the best and hospitable community and culture which is such a good tourism product.
