AB - <table><tbody><tr><td><p>This paper is an ethnographic account of a less-researched community in Dir lower – the Kohistanis. The paper, using ethnographic tools, finds that the Kohistanis have migrated to Dir lower for multiple reasons, the leading one being enmities. They are engaged in various professions, primarily as daily wage laborers and woodcutters. A new trend of seeking government jobs in Pakistan and migrating to the Gulf is being observed. The migration has significant implications for the way they understand and practice Islam, culture, and how their language is fast diminishing and is being replaced by Pashto.</p><p><strong>Keywords: </strong>Islam, Migration, Cultural Identity, Dir Lower, Kohistanis</p></td></tr></tbody></table><p> </p>
