Nomad Tents in the South

Kuchis, Lohanis and Pawindahs are the communities most associated with transportation of commodities to, between and beyond Kabul, Qandahar and Peshawar during the nineteenth century. See the Introduction for attention to cultural and historical distinctions between these communities that perform vital commercial services for the region. The Ghilzai group shown here has halted in the Helmand province that gravitates primarily towards Qandahar's commercial orbit.
