Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a story of friendship, betrayal and retribution. We follow the fortunes of Ahmed Taseer, a boy from an isolated mountain village in Afghanistan. When a close friend is orphaned and seized by the Taliban to become a suicide bomber, Ahmed and his friend Haziz retaliate. Kafiristan explores how opposition to radical religion and narcissistic power can trigger events that can take a boy to the other side of the world. In Australia, Ahmed navigates the fate of asylum seekers, assimilates into a foreign culture and becomes a man. He questions ingrained religious perceptions and finds that his past must be resolved before he can embrace his new life.

Book Synopsis The Káfirs of the Hindu-Kush by : Sir George Scott Robertson
Download or read book The Káfirs of the Hindu-Kush written by Sir George Scott Robertson and published by . This book was released on 1896 with total page 684 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

Book Synopsis Chitral and Kafiristan by : Mohammad Afzal Khan
Download or read book Chitral and Kafiristan written by Mohammad Afzal Khan and published by Ishi Press. This book was released on 2013-04 with total page 166 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The author is an officer who stayed for some time in Chitral and was a frequent visitor to the vastly publicized valleys of Kafiristan; which form however merely three small valleys of Chitral which is the main countryside and surrounds Kafiristan with a majority of Muslims of the Sunni and Ismaili sects. The writer extended his study to the whole of Chitral as he was captivated by an even more interesting and individualistic culture and historical background of the mainland. He found that in spite of poverty, superstition and continuous wars against foreign aggressors, the population presented a care-free and gay culture; full of zest for life and fond of sports like polo, shikar and fishing. Hospitality, peaceful co-existence with each other and the Kafirs and tough endurance of the hardy weather conditions and the isolation imposed on them by high Passes like the Lowari, Shandur and Dorah from the outside world emerge as their best qualities. He lived among them for a short duration but his study is deeply penetrating and undertaken by an inspiration which Chitral has always exercised on those who enter and leave it.
