Homage to the Kalash People

[LaliSJamwal]

surely these simple people have been brainwashed by some Europeans the believe they are Greek or Macedonian. They are clearly Central Asian Aryan in every sense. Very similar to the Dards an indigenous aryan people.

[vickyboy96]

@LaliSJamwal Agreed. They are just being brainwashed!

[raykaelin]

I believe the Celts didn't originate in Turkey, even though ancient Galaticia in Asia Minor was a Celtic settlement. The Celts originated in the Caucuses and dispersed as far as Western China (where 6-7,000 year old Tartan-clad mummies have been found) and wide as Ireland's western most Islands sometime during the Mesolithic Era.

[WVliberty]

@raykaelin the scythians

[nounever]

my great grandfather was a red haired green eyed Kazakh, does that mean he is descended from a viking clan or was Russian NO. These people are not descended from Greeks/Macedonians THEY ARE REAL ARYANS, just look at them and look at Greeks, I understand modern and ancient Greeks are not the same but there is no way they are related, the racist media of the world can not handle other races who are pre or semi white by appearance through light eyes and hair.

[zoran6062]

They look like macedonians with blond hair and blue eyes.

[zigma65]

They speak an Indo-aryan language related with Sanskrit and worship Vedic deities, for example IMRA is the god of thunder in Kalash religion and INDRA is the god of thunder in Vedic religion.

Many Kalash customs are mentioned in Rig Veda.

Other example: SVARGA is the name of Heaven in Vedic and Russian mithology.

Have you ever heard of Aryan Invasion Theory? Google it, please.

[zigma65]

Kalash people are a rigvedic tribe.

[raykaelin]

Genetically speaking, after blood analysis of random samples, they actually have DNA markers that today are only present in Celtic populations in Ireland and Cornwall England. So where did that come from? Go figure

[nounever]

@raykaelin The Celts all originally came form Turkey, there is a slight chance they are related but however to an extent you are wrong it shows us more of where Celtic people and most white people or indo Europeans can be rooted from R1a type Aryan people not the other way around.

[OkurkaBinLadin]

@nounever Celts from Turkey? But Turks despite being whites have fairly low percentage of both R1a and R1b. Surviving celtic populations have extremely high R1b percentages (could be geography true), while eastern Europeans have similar high data for R1a. It is known that Celts settled in Anatolia after time of Alexander.

If Celts originated in Turkey, where do you get proof?

[mbbugi]

The Most Recent News from Kalash is as follows,HUGE FLOODS came to Kalash vallies ,constent rains washed away houses, settlements grains crops of late summer that is Maize,Corn, staple diet of Kalash, lets not argue whose Race Kalash is But try to Help Kalash. Through the Respected embassies of Forign Nationals,YOU can also Help Via Unicef Red Cross Save the Children as u wish,I am the owner of This film and i have watched read all the comments, Kalash Need Help not BICKERING about *RACES*HELP.

[gujranwala789]

They are perhaps the last remanant of pure Sanskrit speaking aryan tribes that spread their language to indian subcontinent. Their language and religious customs are a direct proof of that. It is believed that sanskrit speaking people originated from what is now southern russia and eastern ukraine and after having seen numerous russians and ukrains I can confirm that they do look like them. Greeks on the other hand are dark ugly southern europeans. Kalash show nordic traits not mediterranian

[iwantwatermellon]

@gujranwala789 Hey- It is okay to have your own theories, but please don;t call dark people ugly. My mother is southern European.

[Triptab]

Fake history being planted by Western anthropoligists. The Westerners even made these simple-minded people think that they were linked to Alexander. It is known without doubt that these people have been living in this region much before Alexander came near this region. No proof either that Alexander entered this very region.

There gods and language is close to Sanskrit-avesthan ones.

[CHARKHXBEZAN247]

@Triptab exactly! they were part of Aryana afghanistan meaning land of the aryans!

pakistan is just a 65 yr old country and has afghan territory beyond even the kalash region. Sanskrit and avestan are afghan languages, from aryana, read my info on my page and also the first sanskrit grammarian was an afghan named panini born in Gandhara, Afg

[WVliberty]

@Triptab they came from the first aryan invaders of india over 2500-3500 years ago right?

[OkurkaBinLadin]

@WVliberty Yes, that is probadle. Makes them all the more awesome :)))

[mrpsp91]

they look european -!

[SuperSam990]

We love you all kalash or kailash people.

India

[sameerindia]

There is a similar tribe of greek desendants in Malana, Manali Himachal Pradesh India

[mbbugi]

@sameerindia ,YES you are right, a friend of Mine a writer Mr Lok Raj and a photographer from India told me about this tribe, do send me details and press coverage, in case u have found similarities please let us Know, I am the Contributer of PHOTO COLLAGE to this film i am an artist i research Kalash since 40 + years,

[papasmurfXXX]

Fyrom are bulgars who come from pamir who are east iranian, who are from bactria , not macedonia.

[CodomannusOfPersia]

They are persians!

[nounever]

indo iranians like scythians were

[giantgrave]

Greek nationalists associate kalash with themselves is because they have developed a inferiority complex because of Nordicism that exists in Europe.

Kalash that are shown on media are clearly more fair skinned than average Greeks. Greeks want to prove that they are descendants of ''blue-eye and blonde'' Aryans.

anyways the word ''Aryan'' comes from Sanskrit and Avestan and the term only came in Europe after Renaissance.

[Whipstaffll]

I agree, greeks (modern mediterraneans in general) are fooling no one but themselves. From Homer's Iliad 3000 years ago to the Pella Mosaics in 4th century BC, to the physiognomies of Polemon and Adamantius Judaeus from 2nd to 3rd centuries AD, the ancient greeks were always described as Indo-European = blonde, light brownn, and red hair with light eyes.

**From 700AD - 1800 AD, Greece was nothing but trading posts, subject to all sorts of migration and intermixing

[mbbugi]

@Whipstaffll ,This is a Good Argument, Greeks knew no Other lands than the bacteria areas of ancient Afghanistan ASIA MINOR,in poems,which was known , Greek Writers have mentioned eye witness accounts as the books were compiled in Greek language,and they survived, the other writings were burnt by Alexander in Persia, so we lost a lot of Knowledge,I do agree with the TRADING POST theory Greeks are always forcing people to believe instead of Historical arguments,CORRECT well said,Thanks,

[giantgrave]

I have seen Kalash people nd i don't know why but they only show white skinned kalash on media. There are a lot of brown kalash as well.

Anyways, the DNA tests of Kalash linked them to Singalese of Sri Lanka and not some Greek or something. They are not descendants of Alexander's army because all Greeks fled from the region during emperor Chandragupta Mauriya's reign.

[1313sweetie]

IS their religion similar to Hinduism? Also, have some kalash fled to India to escape Islamic persecution in Pakistan?

[papasmurfXXX]

your totally right and they show only brown pashtoons in the media too, making us think that the taliban people are semetic arabic speaking people, if hiding they're brown kalash its total racism, i've seen authentic videos made by local people and the brown kalash aactually looked like real dardic people, like kasmiris.

[martincors]

Bulgarians!!!

[Verdisyofi]

Kalash are from median white hun descent, so by origin they're more related to hungarians than any other people.

Also, they lived in their current place long before Alexander the Great, i don't know why greeks are so addicted to this army-descendant legend.

[giantgrave]

WTF? median and white huns are two different peoples. And what proof do u have?

[Verdisyofi]

The Codex of Isfahan. Ancient Hun-Armenian book. The White Huns considered themselves Medes.

Also, the Kalash folk clothing is the same what the remaining huns wear nowadays: we still know about existing hun tribes living in Europe, maintaining their culture. The greatest of them all is the Szekler (or székely) people and the Csángó people. Also, some huns are still living in Swtzerland.

The clothing is the same as the Kalash, only colors are different.

[kutkinderen]

fuck all pakistanis that wanna make you muslim be proud to be khalash christiaan.. you must hold your cultuur thats 2000 years still alive

[mihanich]

kalash christian? tihought they're pagans

[187Godhand2]

Those Pakistani that force them are The Taliban, normal Pakistanis get along with them

[papasmurfXXX]

No the pakistani forces are against the taliban, they freakin hurt their own people in the north west frontier.

[zaqwsx144]

they are pagans, not christian

[Crazyhorsemucci]

Perhaps a Sythian past?

[tordherflower]

ALEXANDER was macedonian,not greek....all afghans,pathans,kalash r macedonian decent..ulture,music,dance and skin colour r same to them

[OkurkaBinLadin]

Jesus Christ... are you aware there were Whites living in Asia long before any Macedonians existed?

[papasmurfXXX]

Tocharians!

[scorpioking75]

...i wish u wd hav visited pak n seen urself how the ppl r livin there wid close social bonds b4 commenting anything !!

[mbbugi]

My dear friend thank you for your comments,

I was recently in Pakistan and in Kalash we still live with Honour and piety in north of Pakistan these few people who are RUINING peace in North of Pakistan are after effects of a war which we fought against the soviets,

When Ussr was defeated No war compensation was given to Pakistan or Afghanistan instead Sanctions were imposed on Pakistan, thus crippiling Our economy and no Development was done.Have patience.

[scorpioking75]

kailash were,r & will b a part of pakistan & its rich culture!!n whn v say 'pakistani',it includes all ppl settled in pakistan of wotever ethnicity,origin or religion !! the disturbance in northern pk is not bcz of pakis fighting against pakis or som religious element, its bcz of a bunch of bloody ignorant,nonsense ppl brainwashed in afghanistan n thn sent to pk bcz of its imp strategic position,..to use religion as a tool n try to destabilise it !!

[LeonidasIII300]

People need to stop meddling with this culture before they destroy it. Between the tourists, the interventionists and the insecure Muslims...these people have a long fight ahead of them if they want to preserve their way. I wish them strength and luck.

[mbbugi]

Dear leonidas Thank you for writing,Islam did not destroy Kalash it ptotectrd Kalash as a minority. KALASH are living for more then a thousend years side by side Islam,where one brother is Muslim and other is Kalash living under the same roof,in one house participating in social events,

Only recently some cases have accured of non respect to kalash Sculptures which are stolen for museums in the west,

Kalash get nothing in return from stolen Artifacts of Anthropology.

[kumarsa108]

The Kati 'red' Kafirs, some 60,000 were forced to convert into Islam on the Afghanistan side around 100 years ago and these Kalasha 'black' kafirs only survived because their territory fell under the British Raj. Their numbers are only around 3,000. I hope they are able to grow and preserve thier unique culture and religion. Unfortunatley that area is full of extremist muslim types.

[mbbugi]

well I wish I could correct you or assist you on this.The facts are as follows, a british vice roy by the name of A.Robertson gave over 10.000 guns to defend against the Soviets to the king of Afghanistan, with no enemy in sight the Afghan Army turned to the Kalasha people known in those days as KAFIRISTAN,a massive slaughter happened along with artifacts were burnt just a few wooden effigies were kept intact by the Kabul museum. Afghanistan which is very very rich in history suffered A LOT.

[ronny22]

I feel sad this was never our point while making these PHOTO MONTAGES.

[E9676]

[prilep18]

ALEXANDER WAS MACEDONIEN !!!! PERIOD! Pusti

[viriduspuck]

Free Pagan People in Pakistan, I Love it!

Blessed Be

[aristotelis133]

hello our brothers in pamir..my uncle came to see u..he got so amazed he was understanding so many words in greek..alexander lives through you..a lost tribe of ancient greek world up in the mountains of pakistan...xairetismata apo thessalonikin

[mkdneno]

and i don't understand you hunzaboy, who do yo refer when you say bulgarian-macedonian. if you refer to the macedonians in macedonia, i'll tell you that it's a great insult for me or any other macedonian to be called bulgarian. i agree that we aren't pure macedonians, the slavs came here and we are mixture of slavs and macedonians. but we aren't bulgarians(mongols).

[mfroec]

So you might have greek roots as well.. I mean "macedonians" could be greek people who got mixed with slavs or, why not, bulgarians or serbs.

[mkdneno]

hi there brothers. this music is very similar to folk music in Macedonia. i agree with you that alexander wasn't greek. it's very clear, because you don't speak greek today. and about the ancient macedonians. i'm not realy sure that they were illyrians, because macedonia was always in war with illyria. macedonians were a separate nation in the balkan, difirent than the greeks, illyrians or any other balkan tribe.

[hunzaboy1]

PART 3

Alexander the Great with his army have killed 18000 Greeks.

By the way,we are in 2007,today is not easy to manipulate things.

For you that you don't know the history of Alexander the Great,Illyrian(albanian)I suggest that you read history from foreign authors.

[Nostos5]

its not easy to manipulate things... what about teh media? an you govenrment..

you are obviously manipulated to beleive in your fantasies.

[maikmetaI]

the Illyrios they was son of Greek King of Thebes, who to you said that you are Illyrian turkalbano?you came in the Balkans from Caucasus, which work you have with Greek ILLYRIO? muhahahaha albananians gypsies you have not history,you are only one nothing,the garbadge of the world and nothing more,ARNAOUT!

MACEDONIA IS ONLY HELLENIC,AND KALASH IS OUR BROTHERS,HELLENIC RACE NOT GYPSIES LIKE YOU ANIMAL OK?

[hunzaboy1]

PART 2

Alexander the Great was Macedonian and up to his time Macedonians were considered Barbarians by Greeks (meaning non Greek). Since Greek culture was the most advance of its time his father hired Aristotle to educate him. Macedonians were Illyrian(Albanian) people and spoke the Illyrian(Albanian) language.

So,they use to speak Greek language with outsiders, because Greek language it was like English today.But,Alexander always has spoken his language(Illyrian)with his army(soldiers).

[maikmetaI]

the Illyrios they was son of Greek King of Thebes, who to you said that you are Illyrian turkalbano?you came in the Balkans from Caucasus, which work you have with Greek ILLYRIO? muhahahaha albananians gypsies you have not history,you are only one nothing,the garbadge of the world and nothing more,ARNAOUT!

MACEDONIA IS ONLY HELLENIC,AND KALASH IS OUR BROTHERS,HELLENIC RACE NOT GYPSIES LIKE YOU ANIMAL OK?

[mbbugi]

If I give compliments to greece it is as follows.

The NGO GREEK VOLUNTEERS was established in 1999 with the target to collaborate with Greek institutions as well with people and associations existing in developed countries providing help in the field of friendship,solidarity,communic­ation and cooperation between people .before 1999,that is since 1995 till its establishment as "GREEK VOLUNTEERS"was working individually as a small team under the greek teachers federation,called GREEK TEACHERS.

[hunzaboy1]

PART 1

Alexander the great was Illyrian(albanian).

His mom was an Epirot-Illyrian (Albanian) and on his dad's side,Pelasgian(another Illyrian tribe)Macedonian.

Not(Bulgarian-Macedonian,and not Greek).

When Alexander's dad conquered Greece Macedonians assimilated with Greeks because they were so impressed by Greek culture.

Alexander carried his father's principle of assimilation when he conquered Persia. Alexander and his soldiers were Macedonian thus Illyrians(Albanian).

[maikmetaI]

the Illyrios they was son of Greek King of Thebes, who to you said that you are Illyrian turkalbano?you came in the Balkans from Caucasus, which work you have with Greek ILLYRIO? muhahahaha albananians gypsies you have not history,you are only one nothing,the garbadge of the world and nothing more,ARNAOUT!
