Comment on Seeing the Kurds by Grant

Further clarifiaction; Kurds live in Khorowsan, Afghanistan and Pakistan, particularily Balouchistan. Some, like those in Khorowsan, were put there by one of the Shahs to fight the Turkmens. Others, like those in Balouchistan, have gone at various times, such as during the Agri revolt etc. HOWEVER, with the exception of some of some of the Khorowsani Kurds, very very few still speak Kurdish. Kurds in Afghanistan for example can no longer be considered Kurdish in any meaningful sense, as with many of those in Khorowsan and elsewhere. As one taxi driver in Khrowosan put it to me, “I don’t know Kurdish, I just know I’m a Kurd.” And that was the extent of his knowledge.
