[morath1000]

Wiso misteryous dance ?

[iapetoc6]

they are half Greek half indian,

In arianos we read that some Greeks revolt and took mountains,

their sons are these people, half Greek half afgan-indian

[ktm066]

@iapetoc6 YOU KIDDING ME GREEK..MAN I GOT YOU ON THIS ONE,,THESE PEOPLE ARE FREAKING ME OUT,THEY DANCE LIKE NORTHERN ALBANIANS OF KOSOVA...AND THERE FLUTE IS LIKE THE MACEDONIA AND ALBANIAN FYELLI FLUTE..SOME EVEN LOOK LIKE ALBANIANS,,,,WTF..

[iapetoc6]

@ktm066 that is why Albanians are mix of Greco-Illyrians and Dacians,

off course since Makedonia was and is Greek, and Slavic people moved away,

[malika810]

@ArkoudoROMANTIC wow, thank you!

[Islamirican]

[malika810]

k their not pakistani (of indian origin), then what r they? greek? persian? anybody know?

[stankohls]

It is thought that the Kalash are remnants of Macedonians who came with Alexander the Great to India.

[patkakurmama]

We call this dance horo or kolo.

[TWI08]

pakistan is the hub of terrorism the sponsor and the creator in all of asia, even the cia acknowledge this even though they are the ones who funded punjabis to create terrorists and taliban

[TWI08]

sorry to break the news to you but there already is inter ethnic hate in pakistan as there has been from the onset, that's what happens when you force all manner of people to be part of an artificial state imposed by western imperialists.

[none3000]

they are iranians who were hellenised from the greek army, thats they they believe on the greek religion and kept greek customs like phyrihios dance...

[TWI08]

there is a difference between iranian and iranic. iranian is a nationality

[supporttruth]

damn right it is and its honourable Iranian to you

[sneighwena]

@supporttruth I learned about this tribe today and when I saw them dancing in one of the videos I thought that their dance and music resembled the kind of dancing from Chechnya, Ossetia, Georgia and Armenia. But in this video, it looks a lot like Kurdish dancing. For sure this is not Hindi style dance. These people are certainly a mystery. They look very nice and pleasant people. I just hope that they don't drown into the sea of islam around them...

[supporttruth]

@sneighwena ,,i dont think they will..they have been strong from centuries in thier own traditions ,i dont see why they will parish ...plus they somehow have immunity from pakistan government that they wont be forced to convert from radical muslims...no preaching jihad or islam in chitral /kala bagh/kafiristan.

[sneighwena]

@supporttruth I saw another video here in which a Kalashi man was interview and apparently, 6000 already converted to islam. His own sister regretted it and wanted to come back but he won't let her because he knew that if she did leave islam, she would be killed. He was thinking of her safety and there was pain in his eyes. I understand because we have that pain in our history too, we were under the yoke of the ottomans for 500 years and we have epic songs about it...

[vmbrandonslc]

They brought there with Alexander The Great.Of course they mixed with some locals.They stil pagans like ancestors from Macedonia...

[vmbrandonslc]

I was in Pakistan 2008.Government protect them like unic minority group.They have all rights.Also,origyn of this people is Europe.Balkan peninsula.Macedonia...

[davebones]

I miss these people. Are they OK? Has life changed for them since 9/11? I worry for them sometimes.

[ranamir70]

hi bones... well all same...nothing to change der.and when have u been der... well am going der in the mid of JUNE next y... wana join me...

[davebones]

I would love to. I was there for joshi festival in 2000

[davebones]

I don't think it would be safe for me up in the NWFP at the mo being white with a british passport

[ranamir70]

lol... my dear PAKISTAN iz not a scary movie...its a very peaceful and safe country...wot ever u r black/white,,, GOVT will protect u.if u really wana go dez... well CHITRAL (Kelash) DIST iz safe.

[davebones]

Really? The people I saw in Chitral would throw flowers at the feet of Bin Laden as he passed. They are all Taliban in the Swat valley and around Dir no?

I suppose if I flew Peshawar-Chitral I would miss all that but I wouldn't feel safe in Peshawar. I wasn't safe last time I was there and that was before 9/11.

[davebones]

Have you got some good quality footage? I'd love to make a doco about these people. The neighbour of the guy i stayed with in Bomboret told me to throw away my passport and offered to build me a cabin next to his. Amazing guy. Those kids faces haunt me.

[davebones]

They are an amazing bunch of people. the kids are like wild goats.

[yabgo]

yo would you plz let go of 9/11. R.I.P

these people a well and fine, what do you think! Of course they are fine its Pakistan yo. things change every day may be not the good but it does change.

[scorpioking75]

life is perfectly fine for these n all others like these !! they r culture n part of Pakistan !! n pakistanis love their land n their culture !! infact this is wot reflects the true face of pakistan !! its a pity tht in media, they way they portray pk is as if its a land of sm kinda bloody terrorists !! its not like tht !! although v r facing probz but its largely bcz of the intruders cmin frm afghanistan !! u,ll find pakiz hospitable n caring !! srsly !! pakiz luv to luv n respect their guests

[TWI08]

pakistan is a fake nation imposed by the british. most people in pakistan are ethnic minorities who were forcibly integrated into this punjabi nation of pakistan now the punjabi desis use these minorities to pretend their punjabi state is something other than desi. this kalash culture has no relation to punjabi state of pakistan. also Afghans do not come to pakistan they merely come to what have been Afghan territories for centuries. your fake borders mean nothing in real world terms.

[scorpioking75]

woteva u do to provoke inter-provincial hatred in pakistan...believe u me, u wont b successful !! so fuck off n try ur stupid tactics in india..where already u r facing more thn 17 such movements like Khalistan.. who want independence frm cruelty of india !!

[supporttruth]

your mama is so dumb that she gave birth to you

[khan4bir]

@TWI08 ......,pakistan has rich colorful heiritage,,,kalash is just one color of it,,,,and kalash preserved their culture just because they are part of pakistan,,,,,,,,,if they were anywhere else in the world, they wd have lost their charming culture and naivity.......i myself m pukhtun,,,,, but i love my punjabi, sindi,balochi and kalash brothers,,,,,,so dont put ur malicious eyes on them

[TWI08]

you also might be interetsed to know that pakistan has received billions in funding from saudi arabiai with which they have created and funded the taliban. so yes in fact pakistan is a disease a land of punjabi terrorists and their arab friends.

[scorpioking75]

make ur facts correct man... durend line ws created by british !! n aftr pakistan came into being, its a recognised international border !!

n wot u said abt punjabis n all.... i can surely c an afghani or probably an indian brain washed afghan dumb ass trying to convince the world tht afghani terrorists r the most sacred nation on earth !!

[supporttruth]

your mama is so fat that she had her own post code

[khan4bir]

@davebones .......u shd worry for urself, as u are such an idiot,,,,,, u white people are such racist and arrogant pigs.....kalash valley is a part of pakistan, kalash are pakistani people,,,,,,,,,we live in hormany and peace in pakistan,,,,,kalash people are safe from ur drone attacks with the grace of GOD,,,,,,,,,so be off and never look back...........

[errolmiranda]

@davebones Dont worry Dave.. Firstly they are HINDUS. not Muslims.. So 9/11 has nothing to do with the Hindukush valley's Kalash people!

Secondly the Pakistanis revere their skin colour and looks and thats why they never harm the Kalash people unlike the rest of the minorities in their so called Islamic Republic .

[327372]

@errolmiranda kalash people are not hindus you dumbfuck!

[errolmiranda]

@327372 - Be quiet.. go read about their religion. They are called the KAAFIRS of the HINDUKUSH VALLEY.

Which was once predominantly hindu.

Just because Bali in Indonesia is Hindu does not mean their form of Hinduism is exactly like that of Hindus in India. It varies in every part of the world.

Kalash people may have greek ancestry, but , they do follow hinduism

[327372]

@errolmiranda well whatever. frankly hinduism is one fukd up religion in the sense that it has so many variations and gods and beliefs etc. and from what i heard, kalash are descendants of greeks or macedonians or something, so i dont think they r hindu. they still worship those ancient greek gods i think.

[errolmiranda]

@327372 Keep thinking ... Kalash people are the last remaining hindus of the hindukush valley. .

Their culture is a blend of hinduism and greek .

They are treated well by Pakis only because they are beautiful and light skinned and look superior to white skin loving pakis.

[327372]

@errolmiranda haha we do love white skin :P . man i love blondes. and sometimes redheads n brunettes. Thank god for white girls lol

[errolmiranda]

@327372 haha thats why the HINDU KAAFIRS called the Kalash tribes are still alive in NWFP .. Else you would have halaaled their muttons by now ! haha

Glad you accept you love white and white skin only LOSER ! ;)

[shamk9]

@davebones wata hell? thats their tradition, its been like that for hundreds of years

[akaGumboStu]

[ranamir70]
