Polo in Afghanistan was introduced by the British from Manipur. This is not the true polo country. If visitors want to see the original polo come to Manipur, the 3000 yrs champion of this game. Polo is an inseparable part of the Manipuri religion.

the ancient persian played a game with a slughtered goat or sheep, which is still played in afghanistan and pakistan and its called " Buz Kashi" not Polo.
people in other countries cant differentitate between Polo and "Buz Kashi".
Polo was originated in Chitral (Pakistan) and "Buz Kashi" in persia.

Do not you think, chitral´s natural affiliation is with gilgit and hunza. Should´nt they be given the right to affiliate themselves with whom they are actuall share alot, much more that just polo.

It's hard to say because there are so many Pushto spekers in Lower Chitral now and much of the infrastructure is merged with Frontier. Greater Chitral in fact ruled much of Gilgit and that's why there are so many Khowar speakers in Gilgit. It would have to be a decision of the locals but my feeling is that they feel closer to Frontier than Gilgit now. I've heard many Chitralis speak negatively of Gilgitis which is misguided.
