Hrvoje Ivančić: "Kalash"

The Kalash or Kalasha, are indigenous people of the Hindu Kush mountain range, residing in the Chitral district of the North-West Frontier Province of Pakistan. They speak the Kalash language, from the Dardic family of Indo-Iranic, and are considered a unique tribe among the Indo-Aryan stock.
Some in the academic community have speculated that the Kalash might be from ancient Middle Eastern populations, an indigenous population from South Asia, or members of Alexander the Great's army.Though often overstated, instances of blond hair or light eyes are not uncommon.
There are only 3500 Kalash left today!

@3904939045 "Hinduism draws on Vedic Beliefs for inspiration somewhat like Christianity does Judaism." Interesting, I did not know this. Where did you find this out? I'm assuming you believe in the Aryan Invasion Theory. What pushed Vedic Aryan beliefs (animistic as you say) into a more monistic philosophy seen in later forms of Hinduism as seen today? I'm still not sure about how Hinduism came to be; is it native, foreign, or an amalgamation of native and foreign beliefs? Thanks.

@3904939045 That's right. Their religion, along with Zoroastrianism and Hinduism and its branches, is one of the last known living remnants of Indo-European religion, according to Wikipedia.
