“Kalash religion is similar to the religion that was practiced by Rigvedic aryans. Kalash have retained most of the Proto-Indo-Iranian religion (Indo-European religion).”

The Vedic religion revolved around the use of soma (a plant that grows in Central Asia where it’s dry, no monsoons), cannibis, and opium (that should fire up some people around here). If the Kalash do that, I’ll buy that Wikiclaim. :’) Otherwise, nah, not so much. The religious life of India (and their language is Indo-European after all) has been a polyglot riot for three thousand years, at least, so it’s not surprising that they’d have picked up a few things. The reverence for the horse was also characteristics of the Aryans
