Kuchi people

The Kuchi are a nomadic or semi-nomadic pastoralist community primarily found in Afghanistan and parts of Pakistan. They traditionally depend on livestock, such as sheep, goats, and camels, for their livelihood and move seasonally to access grazing land. Known for their vibrant clothing, distinct music, and oral traditions, the Kuchi play a vital role in local economies and cultural diversity. Their lifestyle is deeply rooted in mobility and community cohesion, enabling them to adapt to environmental and economic changes, though they often face challenges related to land rights, modernization, and political stability.
