Abstract
This paper focuses on cultural patterns of Kalash people in order to explain why Kalasha is isolated and is not integrated to the mainstream Pakistani society? This paper will explain how Kalash culture is at the verge of extinction and is threatened by religious extremists while Pakistan’s State is silent and is not doing enough to preserve this culture or to integrate it in a positive way. The interaction between majority and minority culture also falls under scope of the paper. The paper discusses areas of difficulty between two groups.
