Re: Beyond the Himalayas

Nick,

Great article as always. Thanks for your tremendous effort in finding this treasure trove of reading material for us.

The Hunzakut, Kalash, Minaro and other tribes in that part of the world are believed to be descended from the Greek armies of Alexander the Great and Menander and their women still dress in clothing and headgear that resembles ancient Greek clothing from Greek paintings and inscriptions. My parents have been to those parts in the years before Partition and I hope to visit there someday if India-Pakistan relations improve. At the very least, I would also get to meet relatives and friends in other parts of Pakistan, the country of my mother's birth and a land that my maternal grandfather pined for until he died in India.

Best wishes and good hunting!
