[Chauvinist]

Hey @WAJsal and @shimshali could you people share the pictures of "Khanqah E Chiqchin" which is in Khaplu??

actually the most comprehensive book about the wakhi people and the pamiri people is the PAMIRIAN CROSSROADS written by hermann kreutzmann it is a result of 30 years of research of the wakhi and pamiri people..

i also found something interesting in the book which states that some wakhi origin people speaking the similar language also live in India..

If you two good people are on Facebook, I must introduce you to Sadaf Munshi. Sadaf-ji is a linguist teaching in Texas, and did her doctoral work on Burushaski. She really has a taste and a knowledge of mountain cultures, has toured Pakistan for the purpose of research, and is a noted personality in her home town Srinagar, being an accomplished painter, among other things.
