Belief in religion and practice of cultural constructs are critical factors
that shape up people’s perceptions about their social identity. Religiocultural identity is a source of recognition, self-actualization, and social
acceptance. This paper examines the causal factors that lead to rapid
erosion of religio-cultural identity of Kalasha community in Pakistan. A
multitude of factors are responsible for this phenomenon. The study
reveals that factors such as love marriages, threats from religious
extremists, preaching of Islam by clergymen, teaching of Islamic Studies
in public schools, extreme levels of poverty, highly expensive customs
and rituals inscribed in Kalasha religion, technological development,
social interface with surrounding communities, and lack of serious
efforts on the part of government and civil society organizations to
preserve the Kalasha culture are responsible for social transformation of
Kalasha community.
