CHAUMAS &#8211; 4 months of farming. chitral is not written with &#8220;S&#8221; but pronounced  &#8220;s&#8221; as &#8220;Shetral&#8221; mean <span style="color:#ff0000;"><strong>FIELD</strong></span> in KHOWAR lenguage. they worship SHETRA pal as we do as KHETAR pal, geneticaly they are Indo Aryans &#38; many more</div>
<div><span style="font-size:x-small;font-family:Arial;">Civilisations of Indus and Saraswati did disappeared long before with the time but as some civilisation moved upstream of the Indus to survive from the attacks from outsiders. so they moved deep in Himalayan hindukush and khaibar valley areas. so they remained undetected and survived till today. </span></div>
<div><span style="font-size:x-small;font-family:Arial;">Known of those are KALASH (KALASH &#8211; KUMBH ) valley civilisation and Chitral Culture civilisations in the area of NW frontier of Pakistan &#8211; in Hindukush valley area and khaibar valley area of the Himalayan region.</span><span style="font-size:x-small;font-family:Arial;"> both the valley area are on the tributaries of  INDUS RIVER BASIN &#8211; traced on the satellite maps of Indus river basin and confirmed those are on the banks of tributaries of INDUS RIVER BASIN only.

<p><strong>Pakistan&#8217;s North West Frontier Province (NWFP) is today arguably one of the most dangerous places in the world.</strong><br />
But while that may be true of regions where the Taliban proliferate, there are still areas of NWFP where life goes on as normal.<br />
The most prominent of these is the Kalash region in the northern-most district of Chitral.<br />
It is named after the Kalash tribe which has been settled here since time immemorial.<br />
<a name="story" target="_blank"></a></p>
<div><a href="http://co101w.col101.mail.live.com/mail/InboxLight.aspx?FolderID=00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000001&#38;InboxSortAscending=False&#38;InboxSortBy=Date&#38;n=1540948300#map"><strong>See a map of the region</strong></a></div>
<p>The tribe, said to be descendants of Alexander the Great&#8217;s soldiers, still practise an ancient pagan culture unlike any other in this part of the world.<br />
For centuries, the Kalash have been a people apart.<br />
In modern times, they have become a major tourist attraction, but in so doing have also attracted the ire of Islamic clerics.<br />
This has led to many of them derogatively referring to the Kalash region as Kafiristan, or &#8220;land of the unbelievers.&#8221;<br />
<strong>Unique heritage</strong><br />
This ill-will was largely restricted to slogans and sermons &#8211; until the coming of the Taliban.</p>
<table border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" width="226" align="right">

<div>The valley was at one point conquered by Alexander the Great</div>
</td>

</tbody>

<p>But that is not the only challenge facing this dwindling community &#8211; many educated young Kalash men have chosen to convert to Islam.<br />
In doing so, they have abandoned the community to seek a life in the cities and a more upscale existence.<br />
All these factors are combining to erase a unique heritage.<br />
Hundreds of years ago about 3,000 Kalash people made their home in the Birir, Rumbur and Bumburet valleys among the Hindu Kush mountains of Chitral.<br />
Generally speaking, the people of Chitral, Muslim or Kalash, are liberal when it comes to religion.<br />
But the Taliban threat has now jeopardised all that, with the neighboring district of Upper Dir firmly under their control.<br />
&#8220;Chitral is one of the most peaceful regions in Pakistan,&#8221; Abdul Wali, a local lawyer says.<br />
&#8220;All communities here have brotherly relations with each other.<br />
&#8220;People here believe culture has precedence over religion.&#8221;<br />
<strong>Enthusiastic</strong><br />
The Kalash in Chitral have four festivals to celebrate the seasons.</p>

<div>The area is becoming increasingly squeezed by the Taliban</div>

<p>The summer festival is the most well attended with people coming from all over the country and the world.<br />
This year there are fewer foreign visitors, but they are present. Among them is Glasgow resident Patricia Fort with her son Leon.<br />
&#8220;This is the second time I have come here&#8230;this time to show it to my son,&#8221; she said.<br />
Her son Leon is equally enthusiastic.<br />
&#8220;I got to know about this place from my mother, heard all the stories about the Kalash, saw pictures and knew I had to come,&#8221; he said.<br />
&#8220;The scenery is incredibly beautiful, and the people are very friendly.&#8221;<br />
<strong>Dangers</strong><br />
But now a shadow lies over the event as the security forces are deployed to fend off the Taliban.</p>

<div>The Kalash culture is increasingly under threat</div>
</td>

</tbody>

<p>Checkpoints litter the road leading to the festival venue and local hospitals have been put on red alert.<br />
&#8220;There is a rumour going around that the Taliban will attack the festival,&#8221; Dr Jahangir Khan, medical officer at a local hospital said.<br />
&#8220;There is the situation in Dir, and we are just across the border from Afghanistan.<br />
&#8220;We have been put on 24-hour emergency standby for as long as the festival lasts.&#8221;<br />
The Kalash continued with their festival despite the dangers.<br />
In a region wracked by conflict, their simple ways seem like echoes from another time.<br />
Beautiful women adorned in black robes splattered with bright colours and with necklaces of sparkling stones dance to ancient tunes.<br />
The music is played by the men who occasionally break out in song.<br />
&#8220;They are singing of their happiness to God,&#8221; says Munir, a Kalash man.<br />
&#8220;They are thankful that water is plentiful in the rivers and crops are ripening.<br />
&#8220;The trees are bearing fruit and prosperity is coming to our homes.&#8221;<br />
But how much longer the Kalash community can sing of the joys of life is open to doubt. The Taliban are not now that far away.<br />

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><img class="aligncenter" title="social media" src="http://frenchguyonair.files.wordpress.com/2008/08/socialmedialandscape.jpg?w=600&#038;h=450" alt="" width="600" height="450" /></p>
<p>Less than 16% of humanity do have internet connection. It is strange to speak about social media site. What social type do you mean? Nothing is not social. It is just a kind of  autocongratulation or autopromotion. What&#8217;s happening? We are developing Open ID, compatilibity, permeability between social media plateforms because we are not able to talk to others cultures, to others people. Social medias sites need to talk each other because they have not found the way to conquer other lands. When more than 80% of the planet ignore what is facebook, twitter, gmail, we should really think the usefulness of these sites. Are they really social or just narcissistic? </p>
<p>How can we charm Bambara, Hutu, Zulu, Kalash, Bolowen, Pa Dong to use social media sites? Further to clichés, how can we create social contents? Do we need to review not the business model but the social model? What would be the place of roots?  Do not you believe that arrongance is too much? Do Bambara, Hutu, Zulu, Kalash, Bolowen, Pa Dong they need the same google, ergonomy? What do you know about them? How were the ancient civilizations ways of communication?</p>
<p>Do not be too much <span style="text-decoration:line-through;">socialists</span>, we need money to make money. What do you think about rehabilitating indigenous values? That is not the real value?</p>

<description><![CDATA[There are three Kafir Kalash valleys located in the northwest of Pakistan : Birir, Bumburet and Rumb]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><img class="aligncenter" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/_HD5Gi0O70Yk/RopvRfFkNdI/AAAAAAAAN0k/yalsRw-OTX8/y1pHuw0LU_muyFkaPpNlIgoMhnsyk78u7p1UgEz4WgRJZ_ivRmVIeTEAVP2xuXgCcFl.jpg" alt="" width="440" height="292" /></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">There are three Kafir Kalash valleys located in the northwest of Pakistan : Birir, Bumburet and Rumbur with 20 different villages that retain most of their animist ancestor and fire-worship religions and culture. This entire area has been invaded for eons by Alexander the Great and the Mongols, just to name a few. The Kalash were (or are) also referred to as &#8220;unbelievers&#8221; because they were forcibly converted to Islam before the turn of the century. They build two-story houses and are considered master architects and wood carvers. We&#8217;d camp in this area for two nights, hopeful of seeing a festival or just getting a chance to interact with the Kalash people.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">The Kalash women have relative social freedom compared to the Muslim culture in Pakistan. They often elope with another man even though married at the time. Wife-elopement is a &#8220;great custom&#8221; for them.  Sure simplifies a messy divorce.  And they obviously don&#8217;t frown on contact between the sexes.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://www.jodihilton.com/content/photos/kalash_jh_43.jpg" alt="" width="435" height="288" />Chitral itself was another small, one-street town with <em>nada </em>to do or see. We were supposed to have time to explore the area. I think we finally had a hotel but arrived so late at night we couldn&#8217;t enjoy it. On to the Kalash valley, a very long bumpy drive through a canyon.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://cache.daylife.com/imageserve/06lf4rP14v1pB/610x.jpg" alt="" width="408" height="305" /></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Once in the Kalash Valley, a new camping site&#8230;and to say the Kalash valley was a letdown would be an understatement&#8230; One day of admiring their native dress and homes would have been enough. There was <strong>supposed</strong> to be a big song-and-dance along with festivities one evening. To see this meant another one-hour drive in each direction. ex-Marine and I took a pass and just laid around in our tent completely exhausted. Several hours later the group returned in hysterics. A two-hour drive for nothing. The Kalash decided not to entertain that night.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">The Kalash (Nuristani: Kasivo) or Kalasha, are an ethnic group of the Hindu Kush, who settled in the Northwest Frontier Province of Pakistan. They speak the Kalash language.</p>

<description><![CDATA[Géographiquement entre l&#8217;est de l&#8217;Iran et le nord-ouest de l&#8217;Inde, l&#8217;Afghani]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Géographiquement entre l&#8217;<strong>est de l&#8217;Iran</strong> et le <strong>nord-ouest de l&#8217;Inde</strong>, l&#8217;<strong>Afghanistan</strong> est supposé avoir été le lieu d&#8217;habitat intermédiaire des <strong>Aryas</strong> (aryens), <strong>peuple Indo-Européen</strong> de l&#8217;<strong>âge du bronze</strong>, dans leur progression vers le sud de l&#8217;Asie.</p>
<p>Les langues officielles du pays que sont le <em>Dari</em> (une forme du Perse) et le <em>Pachtoune</em> (de la branche Iranienne du groupe Indo-iranien) sont toutes deux Indo-européennes.</p>
<p>Notons au passage, que durant la <em>dynastie Perse Achéménide</em>, La <em>Satrapie d&#8217;Arya</em>, aussi appellée <em>Aryana</em>,  se situait principalement en Afghanistan &#8211; mais aussi un peu dans l&#8217;est de l&#8217;<em>Iran</em> et un peu sur le <em>pakistan</em> actuels (Une Satrapie était une région de l&#8217;empire Perse gouvernée par un Satrape, le gouverneur de cette province).</p>
<p>Les <strong>Pachtounes</strong>, l&#8217;ethnie principale du pays, sont perçus comme un peuple relié ethniquement à l&#8217;est de l&#8217;Iran avec lequel ils partagent l&#8217;origine de leurs langues, mais ils pourraient vivre là depuis extrêmement longtemps puisqu&#8217;il y est fait semble-t-il référence dans le texte sacré de l&#8217;hindouisme le plus ancien  en tant que <strong>Pakhtas </strong>(Le <strong>Rig-Veda</strong> dont les plus anciens textes sont sensés avoir été composé entre 1700 et 1100 avant J. C. selon les travaux philologiques et linguistiques &#8211; voir par exemple Thomas <span class="searchmatch">Oberlies</span> dans &#8220;<em>Die Religion des Rgveda&#8221;</em>, Wien 1998).<br />
Les Pachtounes sont généralement plutôt de type méditerranéen mais les cheveux et les yeux  clairs, ainsi que les peaux pâles ne sont pas si rares, spécialement parmi les tribus des zones montagneuses les plus isolées. Certains groupes ethniques, tels les <strong>Nuristanis</strong>, ont relativement fréquemment des caractéristiques phénotypiques Europoïdes.</p>
<p>L&#8217;<strong>haplogroupe R1a</strong> est très présent dans la population Afghane.</p>

<p><strong>Nuristan</strong> (ex-<strong>Kafiristan</strong>)</p>
<p>Les Nuristanis (parfois appelés <strong>Kalasha</strong>, tout comme le peuple du nord du Pakistan du même nom) est un groupe ethnique de l&#8217;est de l&#8217;Afghanistan, dans le sud des vallées de l&#8217;<strong>Hindu Kush</strong>. Le peuple Nuristani vit dans une région très isolée, que les caravanes évitaient. Ce peuple de guerriers, de chasseurs et d&#8217;éleveurs a connu des siècles d&#8217;indépendance, résistant pendant huit où neuf siècles à l&#8217;islam, faisant des raids sur les habitations et les caravanes musulmanes,  jusqu&#8217;en 1895 ou ce peuple fut converti.<br />
Le <strong>Nuristani</strong> est une langue <strong>Dardique</strong> et appartient donc au <strong>groupe Indo-iranien</strong> et plus précisément <strong>Indo-aryen</strong> des langues Indo-européennes (cependant, certains le considère comme une troisième branche archaïque du groupe <em>Indo-iranien</em> des langues Indo-européennes, à côté de l&#8217;<em>Iranien</em> et de l&#8217;<em>Indo-aryen</em>).<br />
Avant d&#8217;être islamisés vers 1895, les habitants du Nuristan (Nourestân) étaient polythéistes et pratiquaient <strong>ce qui semble être une survivance de l&#8217;ancienne religion Indo-européenne qui a donné la religion Védique Indienne donnant naissance par la suite à l&#8217;hindouisme.</strong> Ils étaient, avec les <em>Kalash</em> du nord-pakistan, le peuple étant resté sans doute le plus proche culturellement des ancient <em>Aryas</em>.<br />
Beaucoup de Nuristanis ont des caractéristiques physiques européennes, comme une peau blanche, des yeux et cheveux clairs.<br />
Ils sont supposés être en partie les descendants  des peuples indo-européens installés dans ces régions il y a environ 4000 ans dans leur expansion en Asie centrale vers l&#8217;Asie du sud.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Les <strong>Kalash</strong> sont un groupe ethnique de la chaîne de montagne de l&#8217;<strong>Hindu Kush</strong> dans l&#8217;extrême nord du Pakistan (district du Chitral). La langue Kalash est une <strong>langue Indo-européenne faisant partie des langues Dardiques et appartient donc à la branche Indo-aryenne </strong>(Branches dont les langues sont aussi appelées langues <em>Indiques</em>) <strong>du groupe Indo-iranien des langues Indo-européennes </strong>(<strong>et donc appartenant à la famille des langues Indo-européennes <em>Indiennes</em> &#8211; </strong>même si certains la prétende plutôt <em>entre</em> la famille <em>Indo-aryenne</em> et la famille <em>Iranienne</em>).<br />
Leur mythologie et leur folkolre sont proches des <strong>traditions Indo-iraniennes Védiques </strong>(Inde ancienne)<strong> et pré-Zoroastriennes</strong> (Perse (<em>Iran</em> de l&#8217;antiquité)).</p>
<p>Ils vivent géographiquement proches des <strong>Nuristanis </strong>(aussi appelés<strong> Kalashas</strong>), peuple Afghan connu pour ces nombreux phénotypes de type Européen et dont les traditions étaient voisines avant leur islamisation au 19ème siècle. Les <strong>Kalashas du Chitral</strong> sont en fait une population probablement issue des <em>Kalashas du Nuristan</em> (région autrefois appelée <em>Kafiristan, </em>c&#8217;est à dire<em> &#8220;pays des mécréants&#8221; </em>car ils étaient polythéistes et non-musulmans). Les Kalashas du Chitral (et les <em>Nuristanis</em> avant leur islamisation &#8211; même si certaines de leurs anciennes pratiques persistent parfois) sont sans doute aujourd&#8217;hui les peuples qui sont restés les plus proche des anciens <em>Aryas</em>, culturellement parlant (même si l&#8217;on peut bien sûr imaginer que depuis l&#8217;époque très ancienne de l&#8217;arrivée des Indo-européens dans ces régions, de nombreux changements ont eu lieu).</p>
<p>Les <em>Kalashs</em>, tout comme les <em>Nuristanis</em> où les <em>Burushos</em>, prétendent être les descendants des restes de l&#8217;armée d&#8217;<em>Alexandre le Grand</em> qui envahit ces régions il y a environ 2300 ans, mais celà est en fait très peu probable (voir <a href="../critiques-reponses/#3" target="_blank">ici</a>). Si des Grecs ont rejoint ces peuples, ils ont eus une très faible influence génétique sur ces populations d&#8217;après les études génétiques effectuées.</p>
