You’re welcome, afraidoftherepublic!

As for the descendents of Alexander’s troops, Pilsner, they are the Kalash people.

(Not to be confused with the Indo-Aryans of northern India, who have had a presence in the Subcontinent well before Alexander.)

This includes the Festival of the Budulak (the 'shepherd king'). In this festival, a strong prepubescent boy is sent up into the mountains to live with the goats for the summer. He is supposed to get fat and strong from the goat milk. When the festival comes he is allowed for a 24-hour period only to have sexual intercourse with any woman he wants, including even the wife of another man, or a young virgin or his own mother if he wants her. Any child born of this 24-hour rampage is considered to be blessed.

It's good to be King!
