Puristan Shah was the first person I met when I arrived in the
valley where the Kalash reside. Using sign language he introduced
himself and immediately began to show me around and introduce me
to his family and friends. Everyone was very open and friendly.
Later my interpreter told me that there is virtually no crime among
the Kalash. In the rare event that someone should steal or show
disrespect for the culture, they are confronted by the whole village
and made to provide a male goat to be sacrificed and eaten at a
community gathering. |
