BUSHKASHI: A PORTRAY OF THE AFGHAN SOUL


Fourty horsemen competing to hurl a beheaded goat into a goal. That’s bushkashi, the Afghan national sport. Some say it is a portray of the Afghan soul and I agree, not because of its brutality, what because players don’t form teams, but play each for themselves….



The game field doesn’t have specific limits and action can happen anywhere...




…even fearfully near the photographer….!!
