The chance of anything happening is very remote. Whilst much of Pakistan is poor, the middle class is like 17% (incomes of $10k or more), so 30 million odd people live well. They have their country clubs, their prep schools, the material comforts. They live safe lives - enclosed from 'reality' but enough of them to not encounter 'it'.

The Kalash people of North Pakistan are scions of Alexander's Army and retain their own heritage and traditions.
