[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Buzkashi is famous sport played in Afghanistan. Buzkashi is two words BUZ & KASHI. In dari BUZ means goat & KASHI means pulling (KASH=PULL).

Its like polo, players are on the horse. The kept the goat (of course a dead goat) on a distance and the players of diffrent team pick the goat. Both players try to pull and take the goat from the oppsite team to show his power and take to his area.

I think its natinoal game of fghanistan but I am not sure.

I too am surprised to see so little said about this image. It is full of action, i like the tones and composition very good capture.

Ali Saheb,
The shot reminds me of the scene from Hindi Blockbuster Khudha Gawah starring Amitab Bachhan and Sri Devi. A major part of the movie was shot in Afganistan.
Nice shot dear friend.
