Buzkashi
Afghanistan
prestigious and famous national sport instituted many centuries ago on
the vast Afghan plains of Central Asia. Literally called ” goat dragging
”. Buzkashi is now played with a decapitate calf. Today hundreds and sometime
thousands of proud riders on their swift horses with switches clamp in
their teeth strenuously pursue the player with the calf. You can win the
game by tossing the calf into the scoring circle. Seems very simple, …don’t
you think? Games are held throughout the north, but especially at the center
of Kunduz and Mazare e Sharif.
