Persecution of Kalash

The Kalash are a small, indigenous community living in the remote valleys of northern Pakistan. They are known for their distinct culture and polytheistic beliefs. Throughout history, the Kalash have faced persecution due to their religious practices and ethnicity, particularly from extremist groups seeking to impose a singular interpretation of Islam. This has included threats, violence, and pressure to convert. As a result, their cultural heritage and way of life are under significant threat, prompting calls for protection of their rights and preservation of their unique traditions.
