Safed-Posh Kaffirs
Safed-Posh Kafirs or Sped-Posh Kafirs , also known as the Lal-Posh Kafirs were designations for three Nuristani clans:
- the Wais or Waigulis;
- the Askunus or Ashkuns and/or
- the Presungulis, Prasunguli, Vasi or Viron people.
These names were based on the traditional colors of their clothes and the Islamic term kafir, meaning "unbeliever,"or "disbeliever" – reflecting their status as a religious and ethnic minority, the members of which long rejected – or continues to reject – conversion to Islam
Some authors, such as George Scott Robertson, have considered this classification unsatisfactory, and regard the three groups as separate, on the same level as the Siah-Posh Kafirs.
Robertson claimed that the Presunguli were the original inhabitants of Nuristan and that the Ashukuns were allied to the Waigulis.Footnotes
