BBC Travel Show - Kazakhstan special (week 40) 

@Abdul Gaffar Chowdhury MIRAAAS Salta Muslim-Ali Rocky Journeys

@Abdul Gaffar Chowdhury of course it's safe lol I don't know what you're worried about

@Abdul Gaffar Chowdhury as a matter of fact most Kazakhs are Muslim, although not so religious. But that's besides the point. Kazakhstan is pretty safe to visit regardless of the traveler's looks or faith.

@Abdul Gaffar Chowdhury well that's certainly a thing. In Soviet times many attributes of Kazakh culture, language, lifestyle, and faith was actively repressed. As a result, today Kazakhstan is culturally very similar to Russia, e.g. many people speak Russian instead of Kazakh. We lost a chunk of our identity. Today, when people r returning to their roots, there is a lot of debate about what defines Kazakh. Are we Muslim? How should Kazakh women dress? Should we punish employees who dont speak Kazakh? There is a lot of work ahead towards defining Kazakh-ness, but it rarely concerns foreigners. Nobody will question your faith as a foreigner. As for Islam, the government has its reasons to worry because some of the religious youth gets easily swayed into questionable organizations, so they ban prayers and headscarves in schools and government-run organizations, but that whole political debate is not violent, and none of that will concern a visiting foreigner.

@Abdul Gaffar Chowdhury well i know quite a few hijabi girls, and while their friends and families give them a hard time, not a single time did i hear about about being literally attacked. What you have seen must have been either an extreme exaggeration or a lie.

Тоже самое 😅

Дак они для туристов.

Ну вот может настало время сходи к этому шаману' он тебя в транс заведет' в шоке будешь.... Сам лично знаком

All I see is desert :/

Yes they are the greatest exporters of potassium

Let's report it

@@BobBob-iu1hm i used to live in kazakstan and I can tell you this is not how all of it looks like I lived in I big city and it was better than winnipeg I live in Canada now in a small city and I kinda miss it

Too many jew

@@thefrase7884 Em? What do you mean? We aren't Jews!

Who said that it is worst of Kazakhstan? They showed us beautiful and unique places, and first of all they showed us Kazakh culture. And tbh there are only three "normal" cities in kazakhstan. Have you ever been in other cities? Thank God that they showed us truly beautiful places of Kazakhstan, because they could show us real life in here... I didn't saw nothing bad in this video, but now I see true Kazakh, that doesn't like anything.

Nomadbk Nomad I love Kazakhstan! I’d probably say I’m one of the real patriots right here. I’m working on making this country more well-known among people from all around the world. Don’t say that I don’t like anything. I actually really do, more than the rest of KZ. Most of us hate KZ

@@RonWorthyTheChannel Okay, I used strong language, I apologize. To be honest I am surprised of such clever answer. I am Kazakh too, I live in Shymkent, and I can say that I am one of the truly patriots too. I'm always trying to make everything right, and teach others to do right things. But most of people do not understand simple things. I love kazakhstan too, but I hate gov....I dont think that it is good idea to write about politician now... But I hope you understood what I mean, didn't you? And like patriot, I think that this video isn't bad, it shows beauty of our country.

@@azhiazhi3045 as a traditional we have many interesting things too. But this shaman was like satanist in England. Your can find but it's nothing like common or popular. Marginal stuff

So you're basically claiming you're the evil. And anything that's remotely spiritual has nothing to do with Islam.

За себя говори

Я казах и мусульманин, брат. Это шаманизм и ничего обзего с исламом.

I think it's mix of tengrism and islam

Kazakhs used to follow shamanism and tegrism for way longer than Islam... this is religion of our ancestors so in a way he is correct...

He showed only desert of Kazakhstan

the show host, Mike Corey, is an adventure-traveler so he preferred to visit the more challenging places & experience a rather exotic treat

Да,не ожидала,что он из подобных.

Может у тебя татемный ангел Испаская ш.....))))

Moin Moin! aus Almaty

Um, kazakhs are decedents of kypchaks turks who suffered mongolian invasions which is why most look mongolic. J-just what do you study in history classes? Both were nomads, yes and both were under soviet dictator ship, of course. But that’s pretty much it? No hate in my comment but i feel like instead of bonding over race why not bond over soviet era since it effected people of modern day?

@@somelove9872 Stop talking non-sense so Kazakhs become more Mongolic but Armenians and Kypchaks became more middle eastern looking. It is nothing to do with the invasion as some anti-Mongol historians have tried to mislead the history. Not so long ago Mongolians in Mongolia hated also Ghenghiz/ Chingis Khan and we Mongolians, Kazakhs, Buryats and all the other Mongol people hated each other because of communist misleading history they were teaching and unfortunately it still now continues like you believe Mongols invaded and raped Kazakhs that is why they look Mongolian. So according to you Mongols did not rape Armenians even though we invaded them! Bottom line is there are yes Mongolic and Turkic tribes in the east of Russia nations like Armenia are Turkic you can see that but Kazakhs, Butyats, Tuvan, for example, these are Mongol people. Today's Kazakh people for centuries managed to keep their bloodline clean. Most Kazakhs don't intermarry. The only difference is some of Mongol tribes adopted Turkic language and became Muslim. The Ilkhanate, Golden Horde, and the Chagatai Khanate - three of the four principal khanates (except for the Yuan dynasty) - embraced Islam, as the Mongol elite favored Islam to strengthen their rule over the Islam majority populace. Which is why the vast majority of Mongols became Muslim.

@@TemuulTK Armenia located on more mountain area which is why most avoided the same fate we did. So... you basically excusing everything mongols did in the past? And trying to rewrite our whole history? Why not pick up kazakh history books and maybe understand our side? It's like japanese refuse to acknowledge their war crimes. Dude, i am kinda sorry you're feeling that way, but most dont feel the same way you do, especially those who are from younger generation, they can related to soviet times since it's most recent event that happened here. I personally couldnt careless who you are, so why not just chill and talk about other stuff

@@somelove9872 Hey stop spreading hate. You seem like a Turkish guy trying to claim all the western Mongolia as part of your world. What you are saying is the communist anti-Mongol propaganda that designed to split Mongolian people by spreading hate. If you are Kazakh try to find the true history dig deeper and find your roots. And if you believe that you are Turkish that is fine man good for you. I really care about the true history that is all. You saying that Armenians were lucky because of mountains is so stupid to be honest. Since you think that is true I guess it shows your level of education. Anyway good luck man and if you are Kazakh please don't be brainwashed.

@@TemuulTK geez, whatever helps you sleep at night man

Кордик кордик. Шаманистерди козин курту керек. Кайдан шыга койды осы адамнын жолынан десенши

Неге, кызым? Менiн коршiм - шаман!! 🤣🤣🤣

Didn’t u know that our forefathers kept tengri? Our culture and traditions still preserve those shamanistic stuff

А что именно в этом хорошего?

Yes i agree with your words ,i'm an indian student studied in almaty for five years and almaty is absolutely interesting and beautiful place😍

@@nomadbknomad6836 then what about Mexico,south America,south africa(they where idol worshipers and now Christian's)china,mangolia,Tibet,Bhutan,Thailand,Myanmar,(they where folks but accepted buddhism originated in india)etc

@@ThE-vp4op Yes, you are right, thank you for correcting my mistakes. But anyway, it is rude to say that shamans are Charlatans and crazy people , we must accept all religions.

Bahaleo Leosh .....plus home to the world’s largest tinshein swimming pool

I think he's not even a Shaman.. Just a.. Charlatan

Hi, I am kazakh and have been living in Kazakhstan all my life. I've seen such of kind healing for the 1st time. It is funny to know that we have such kind of way of treatment, calling spirits of animals sounds weird.

He is not from Kazakhstan 🇰🇿, he has never been to Kazakhstan 😂😂😂 that’s the thing, that every body believe that stupid story 😂 because of their level of education about one of the biggest, the one of the most beautiful and unique Country and it’s glorious Nation

You are wrong. He is not from Kazakhstan!!

На зелёном базаре нормальный кумыс.Разбавленный только в магазине. Хороший кумыс в аулах всегда продают)

@@LitrRPGЯ редко но покупал в разных местах, и когда пьёшь нужно находится недалеко от туалета, дабы успеть !!!! И вот в прошлом году попал в больницу, мне удалили маленький камушек, после операции почки были слабые и ООЧЕНЬ чувствительные, и начал экспериментировать, сперва выпил колы почки начали ныть, диззи - энергетик таже хрень, чистая вода успокаиваються, чаи неитрален, кофе немного агрессивна, выпил пива почкам понравились ))) , потом когда лежал в палате , рядом был старик коневод, и к нему приходили его дочки приносили еду и кумыс регулярно, у меня почки ныли и мочеиспускание было болезненным , когда он мне предложил, я выпил пол литра и клянусь Аллахом, что так благотворно не повлияло ни что !!!! Кумыс был прямо из его хозяйства!!!! И живот не воротило, я был удивлён, что мы городские давно не пьём настоящии кумыс !!!!

if u r kazakh u should know that some kazakhs do. many do actually. even foreigners know what ritual it was.

Да они конечно есть' но проверенных мало кто знает' много мошенников. Например этот шаман он настоящий' сам лично знаком......

Им не интересно шаманы. Просто они с таким пониманием приезжают сюда и спрашивают. А у нас шаманы тут как тут их поджидают. Наши шаманы походу с туристами работают
