APP11-04CHITRAL:
September 04 - Away from the fevers and frets of life, a strange
conglomerate of about 4,000 people dotting the picturesque countryside
of Chitral valley, continues discreetly to battle with the temptations
of modern life which apparently are impacting the Kalasha culture. Not
far from the main Chitral city which usually keeps humming with life
activity, the mysterious people residing in isolation at the mountain
tops, obscured by their rites and rituals, are now seen struggling to
protect their beliefs, ideology and mode of living constantly at
loggerheads with modern life style entailing mundane temptations. These
people clinging to their centuries old traditions even are not exactly
aware of their ancestry, leaving such a controversial issue for the
historians to settle. (Match the picture with APP feature slugged
“Kalasha culture feels heat of modernity stealthily making inroads”
already released). APP
