Nuristani tribes

Nuristani tribes are ethnic groups native to the Nuristan region in eastern Afghanistan. They have distinct languages, cultures, and traditions that set them apart from other Afghan communities. Historically, they were isolated and maintained unique practices, many of which are linked to ancient Hindu-Buddhist influences before converting to Islam. The Nuristani tribes are organized into several groups, each with their own social systems and customs, often practicing traditional religion and ceremonies. Their remote location has helped preserve their cultural identity amid changing political landscapes.
