Who they are
The Shilmani are a clan of the Pashtun people who live mainly in mountainous areas between Pakistan and Afghanistan. With a strong tribal identity and deep devotion to their traditional code of honor, the Pashtunwali, they value loyalty to family and warm hospitality. The Muslim faith and the Pashto language completely shape their worldview and community life.
