What it's about

The Kafirs of the Hindu-Kush by George Scott Robertson, illustrated by Arthur David McCormick, is a detailed ethnographic account of the Kafir people inhabiting the remote Kafiristan region (now Nuristan, Afghanistan). Written after Robertson’s year-long journey (1889-1891), the book explores their unique customs, social structure, religion, and daily life. Despite its colonial-era biases, it remains one of the few comprehensive records of this isolated culture before their forced conversion to Islam, enriched with vivid illustrations by McCormick.
