Kalash people are a minority community of Pakistan living near Pak-Afghan Border, their culture is one of the most ancient and strongest in the whole region, the people of Kalash remained isolated from the outer world for centuries, Today however this beautiful and unique culture is on the verge of extinction and falling into decline, the community faces problems like forced conversions and threats from Taliban.
