Kalasha Complain of Discrimination
Sir,
Kalash, the indigenous and original inhabitants of Chitral
are still being deprived of their constitutional rights in the following way.
1. Our religion is not included in the list of religions and
we are being forced to show Buddhism or Islam as our religion.
2. Kalash students are being taught Islamiat in schools,
whereas they should be taught ethics instead of Islamiat.
3. KPK govt has included 12 languages to be taught in
schools but Kalasha language hasn't been included despite the fact that we have
developed our text books upto grade 18 with the help of the Greeks.
All these issues are leading to more and more conversions
and the tribe is endangered.. Islam does not allow to suppress minorities, it
rather instructs to protect them. Help preserve the Kalash from extinction. --
