The High Conversion Rate

Kalash 27 February 2011: Many girls and boys converted to Islam since 2009. The rate of conversion among Kalasha females and young boys to Islam is subsequently increasing. This is mounting the despair among the small population of 3350 Kalasha people who are struggling to maintain a unique cultural existence. In past three years many Kalasha girls and boys have departed from the ancient culture to marry individuals outside of Kalasha culture and religion. Kalasha Women folks are the main players in the orchestra of ancient indigenous cultures they wear the dress code; actively participate in activities, ceremonies, and indigenous stories in Kalasha language to their children.
