Die Religion der Kafiren, also der heutigen "Nuristani" im Nordwesten Afghanistans, faszinierte alle europaischen Reisenden, die sich noch vor der Zwangsbekehrung zum Islam gegen Ende des 19. Jahrhunderts ihrem Lebensraum nahern konnten. Die Kafiren verehrten mit Opferriten, die zum Vergleich mit jenen der abendlandischen Antike herausfordern, Gotter mit zum Teil aus den Veden bekannten Namen. Hier wird der historische Hintergrund des bislang nur in ethnologischen Kategorien erfassten Materials klargestellt. Um zu zeigen, dass selbst heute noch 80 Jahre nach der Bekehrung, mit wesentlichen Erganzungen unseres Wissens von der Religion der Vergangenheit zu rechnen ist, sind zwei Beitrage von Feldforschern aufgenommen: Schuyler Jones, am Department of Ethnology and Prehistory der Universitat Oxford tatig, berichtet uber das Waigal-Gebiet, Max Klimburg, Leiter der Aussenstelle des Sudasien-Instituts der Universitat Heidelberg in Kabul, uber das Ashkun-Gebiet. Westlich der Kafiren, auf pakistanischem Gebiet, lebten die dardischen, eine indische Sprache sprechenden Kalash, die letzten Heiden des Hindukusch, deren Religion auf angesichts des unabwendbaren Untergangs eine erstaunliche Dynamik zeigt. Die Shina-sprechenden Darden, deren Hauptverbreitungsgebiet die Gilgit Agency ist, wurden zwar in einem Prozess, der erst im 19. Jahrhundert seinen Abschluss fand, zum Islam (oder Lamaismus) bekehrt, daneben blieb jedoch eine Komplementarreligion lebendig, die offenbar bereits den Buddhismus uberdauert hatte. Ihre Grundkonzeptionen werden hier erstmalig herausgearbeitet, wobei der Zusammenhang mit den religiosen Systemen der Kafiren und Kalash sichtbar wird. Schliesslich wird die Religion der Kho, der dardischen Grundbevolkerung Chitrals, dargestellt. Es ergibt sich, dass Chitral die wichtigste Einbruchszone iranischer Vorstellungen in ein indisches Sprachgebiet ist. Die Fulle unpublizierten Materials, das in dieses Buch eingegangen ist, die vielfaltigen Beziehungen zu den Nachbargebieten, die dabei deutlich werden, lassen ein Quellenwerk entstehen, das fur den, der sich mit den Religionen Indiens, Irans oder Zentralasiens beschaftigt, kunftig nicht zu umgehen sein wird.

Kafiristan, or "The Land of the Infidels," was a region of eastern Afghanistan where the inhabitants had retained their traditional pagan culture and religion and rejected conversion to Islam. The Káfirs of the Hindu-Kush is a detailed ethnographic account of the Kafirs, written by George Scott Robertson (1852-1916), a British administrator in India. With the approval of the government of India, Robertson made a preliminary visit to Kafiristan in October 1889, and then lived among the Kafirs for almost a year, from October 1890 to September 1891. Robertson describes his journey from Chitral (in present-day Pakistan) to Kafiristan and the difficulties he encountered in traveling about the country and in gaining information about the Kafir culture and religion. The latter, he writes, "is a somewhat low form of idolatry, with an admixture of ancestor-worship and some traces of fire-worship also. The gods and goddesses are numerous, and of varying degrees of importance or popularity." Robertson describes religious practices and ceremonies, the tribal and clan structure of Kafir society, the role of slavery, the different villages in the region, and everyday life and social customs, including dress, diet, festivals, sport, the role of women in society, and much else that he observed first-hand. The book is illustrated with drawings, and it concludes with a large fold-out topographical map, which shows the author's route in Kafiristan. In 1896 the ruler of Afghanistan, Amir 'Abd al-Rahman Khan (reigned 1880-1901), conquered the area and brought it under Afghan control. The Kafirs became Muslims and in 1906 the region was renamed Nuristan, meaning the "Land of Light," a reference to the enlightenment brought by Islam.

This authoritative work sheds light on the religious world of the Kalasha people of the Birir valley in the Chitral district of Pakistan, focusing on their winter feasts, which culminate every year in a great winter solstice festival. The Kalasha are not only the last example of a pre-Islamic culture in the Hindu Kush and Karakorum mountains but also practice the last observable example anywhere in the world of an archaic Indo-European religion. In this book, Augusto S. Cacopardo takes readers inside the world of the Kalasha people. Cacopardo outlines the history and culture of this ancient but still extant people. Exploring an array of relevant literature, he enriches our understanding of their practices and beliefs through illuminating comparisons with both the Indian religious world and the religious folklore of Europe. Bringing together several disciplinary approaches and drawing on extensive ethnographic fieldwork, this book offers the first extended study of this little-known but fascinating Kalasha community. It will take its place as a standard international reference source on the anthropology, ethnography, and history of religions in Pakistan and Central South Asia.
