Shin is a pre-Islamic tribe from the Hindu Kush. Shin is a tribe spread throughout the Indus Valley in Kohistan, extending as far North as Baltistan, Pakistan. The part of the Indus Valley below Gor to the Pak-Afghan border near Ghorband is called Shinkari and its Southernmost part is home to the purest Shin community known. The name Shin-kari still exists in Pakhli, and the Shin-kari family's original home may have been in that valley. The Shins form the majority of the population in Gor, Chilas, Tangir, the Indus Valley below Sazin, and the upper part of the Gilgit Valley above Ponyal.〔A glossary of the tribes and castes of the Punjab and NorthWest provinces, compiled by H.A. Rose, vol III Page 405〕 ==Pre-Islamic Hindu Shin names== Shin Names Men Shin Names Women In the world's second coldest place Drass, one can find such names which were used in prehistoric period. This shows that these Dards are the linguistic descendents of regvedic culture. besides, innumerable Sanskrit words are found, such as Bakhuni, shish mukh, achikot, maran, suri, rajju, drusht, jar, jarat, pachak. According to the local Dard historians, a band of seven brothers migrated from Dardistan, probably either from Dasu or from Chilas. These Aryan brothers marched towards Deosai Plateau and reached Karkit. By finding there suitable pastures and water resources they decided to settle there. This happened probably in the seventh or eighth century. Today their descendents are found here in the thousands. They had kept their Shina language and culture alive. These seven earlier Dard people were Cholok Lacho, Suko, Sangyun, Khori, Sacho and Prato. Their forefather's name was Ra Thatha Khan, and their father was Suri Pueinlo. So for even today they are called Suri Puinlay. ==Festivals== Chili marks commencement of ''wheat sowing'' which is similar to ''wheat sowing'' celebrations all over the Indian subcontinent with different names like Lohri and Makar Sakranti. Chilli also had years ago a further connection with the worship of the Cedar, now in the main dropped.〔The making of a frontier Five years' experiences and adventures in Gilgit By Algernon George Arnold Durand Page 210〕 Ceder worship is prevalent among all historic Hindu communities of Himalayas from Hindu Kush region to Himachal and Uttarakhand. It is known as Deodar derived from Sanskrit word ''Devadaru'', which means "wood of the gods", a compound of ''deva'' (god) and ''dāru'' (wood, etym. tree). The Cedar is also sacred in Kafiristan.〔The making of a frontier Five years' experiences and adventures in Gilgit By Algernon George Arnold Durand Page 209〕 Like the one described above. The Drassi Dards also celebrate chilli ceremony, lomay, nisalo. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Shin of Hindukush」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
