Hindko - Short Documentary

A film that will blow you away; a language called Hindko, filled with history.
The language 'Hindko' first came into Afghanistan just after Muhmud of Ghazni; the conquered his victory against India and bought men across to Afghanstan where the development of the language Hindko started to begin. 1000s of years later, that language is still spoken with many alterations. As for myself, it was a shock to find out that I also speak that language.

In this documentary I unfold the memories of Afghanstan by speaking to the knowledgeable author Dr Harbans Singh Handa, an Afghan Hindu and President of Asa Mai Mandir, Dr Amar Nath Kakkar and lastly Pritpal Singh, the filmmaker of many films such as “Mission Afghanistan” and “Hindu Kush to Thames.” Pritpal Singh speaks about his experience on how the language has been changed and altered by communities around the globe. The language that Afghan Sikhs speak include “Hindko” and not many of us are aware of it, including myself. The film gives us an insight on the History of language as well as the background of Afghan Sikhs and Hindus culture.
