These provincial and state oolurnes will be found to deal in particuJm' with points which ' I have bee,. abl£ amy to treat in. general, and tke method I have followed for the most part has been to examiM for myse~f the figures for I ndw as a whole and then to tum to the provincial re]XJ'fts to point a mmal or adorn the tale, but the ooncl~ formed and the opinions e3pfe8sed are my awn.

Ethnic and National Groups The following numbers are never used alone, but may be used as required (either directly when so noted or through the interposition of notation 089 from Table 1) with any number from the schedules, e.g., civil and political rights (323.11) of Navajo Indians (—9726 in this table): 323.119726; ceramic arts (738) of Jews (—924 in this table): 738.089924. They may also be used when so noted with numbers from other tables, e.g., notation 174 from Table 2 In this table racial groups are mentioned in connection with a few broad ethnic groupings, e.g., a note to class Blacks of African origin at —96 Africans and people of African descent. Concepts of race vary. A work that emphasizes race should be classed with the ethnic group that most closely matches the concept of race described in the work Except where instructed otherwise, and unless it is redundant, add 0 to the number from this table and to the result add notation 1 or 3–9 from Table 2 for area in which a group is or was located, e.g., Germans in Brazil —31081, but Germans in Germany —31; Jews in Germany or Jews from Germany —924043. If notation from Table 2 is not added, use 00 for standard subdivisions; see below for complete instructions on using standard subdivisions Notation from Table 2 may be added if the number in Table 5 is limited to speakers of only one language even if the group discussed does not approximate the whole of the

  • IRANIAN INFLUENCE on the CULTURE of the HINDUKUSH Karl Jettmar German Ethnologists Called the Kafirs a Megalithic People 1 2 (&Q
    Originalveröffentlichung in: Karl Jettmar (Hrsg.) Cultures of the Hindukush. Selected papers from the Hindu-Kush Cultural Conference held at Moesgard 1970, Wiesbaden 1974, S. 39-43 IRANIAN INFLUENCE ON THE CULTURE OF THE HINDUKUSH Karl Jettmar German ethnologists called the Kafirs a megalithic people 1 2 ("Megalithvolk") or Kafiristan a "megalithic centre" , that is to say, the culture of the Kafirs was considered as a phenomenon strictly separated from the great civilizations of Western Asia. It seemed to be part of a cultural stratum which is otherwise accessible to us only by archaeology of far back periods (.3rd - 2nd millennia B.C.) or ethnography in distant regions (e.g. South­ east Asia and Indonesia). This tendency can be observed even in recent studies made by Snoy and myself. On the other hand, indologists tried to trace survivals of the religion of the Aryan immigrants to India in the folklore of the 3 mountains. I think such efforts are legitimate. But I would propose to start from a more cautious hypothesis. I think that every explanat­ ion of the religion of the Kafirs and the Dardic peoples has to take into regard that the singularity of Kafiristan and other mount­ ain areas indeed is preconditioned by geography but became really effective when the surrounding lowlands were conquered by the expand­ 4 ing force of Islam. A bar was laid which was not opened before the conversion of the mountain valleys themselves. For Kafiristan proper this means an isolate development between the 11th and the 19th centuries A.D. Before the 2nd millennium A.D.
