Hindukuš (pers. هندوکش, hind. हिन्दु कुश — planine Inda) je planinski masiv u srednjoj Aziji u državama Avganistan i Pakistan.[1][2] Najzapadniji je deo velikog masiva kojeg sačinjavaju Himalaji, Pamir i Karakorum. Prostire se u dužinu oko 1200 kilometara i širinu oko 240 kilometara.

Lanac čini zapadni deo Himalajske regije Hindu Kuš (HKH);[3][4][5] na severu, blizu njegovog severoistočnog kraja, Hindukuš se oslanja na planine Pamir blizu tačke gde se granice Kine, Pakistana i Avganistana sastaju, nakon čega ide na jugozapad kroz Pakistan i ulazi u Avganistan blizu njihove granice.[1] Istočni kraj Hindukuša na severu se spaja sa Karakoramskim vencem.[6][7] Prema svom južnom kraju spaja se sa Belim planinama u blizini reke Kabul.[8][9] Ona deli dolinu Amu Darje (drevni Oks) na severu od doline reke Ind na jugu. Lanac ima brojne visoke vrhove pokrivene snegom, a najviša tačka je Tirih Mir ili Teričmir na 7.708 m (25.289 ft) u distriktu Čitral u Hajber Pahtunkvi, Pakistan.

Region Hindu Kuša bio je istorijski značajan centar budizma, sa lokalitetima kao što su Bamijanske Bude.[10][11] Lanac i zajednice nastanjene u njemu bili su domaćini drevnim manastirima, važnim trgovačkim mrežama i putnicima između Centralne Azije i Južne Azije.[12][13] Dok je ogromna većina regiona već nekoliko vekova većinski muslimanska, određeni delovi Hindu Kuša su islamizovani relativno nedavno, kao što je Kafiristan,[14] koji je zadržao drevna politeistička verovanja sve do 19. veka kada je konvertovan u islam od strane Duranskog carstva i preimenovan u Nuristan („zemlja svetlosti“).[15] Hindukuš je takođe bio prolaz za invazije na Indijski potkontinent,[16][17] i nastavlja da bude važan za savremeno ratovanje u Avganistanu.[18][19]

Izvor imena uredi

Prvi Evropljanin koji je došao do lanca Hindukuša je bio 329. p. n. e. Aleksandar Makedonski. Lanac je nazvao Planina Inda (grč. Καύκασος Ινδικός) i ime se održalo do danas. U Sanskritu taj gorski lanac nosi ime Pāriyatra Parvat šta je navodno neka verzija imena Hindu-Kusha šta bukvalno znači Sedište reke Ind.

Najranija poznata upotreba persijskog imena Hindukuš se javlja na mapi objavljenoj oko 1000. godine.[20] Neki savremeni naučnici izuzimaju prostor i nazivaju planinski lanac Hindukuš.[21][22]

Etimologija uredi

Hindukuš se uglavnom prevodi kao „Ubica Hindusa[23][24][25][26][27][28][29] ili „Hindu-ubica“ od strane većine pisaca.[30][31][32][33][34] Termin je najranije upotrebio Ibn Batuta. Prema njemu Hindukuš znači Hindu ubica jer su robovi sa Indijskog potkontinenta umirali u teškim klimatskim uslovima planina dok su odvođeni iz Indije u Turkestan.[26][35][36][37][a]

Gorski prelazi i najviši vrhovi uredi

Najznačajniji planinski prelazi su 3878 metara visoki Kotal-e Salang koji povezuje Kabul odnosno južni i severni Avganistan i Kotal-e Šibar sa 3260 metara. Prema indijskom podkontinentu vodi prelaz Kiber (1027 metara), dok Kabul i Pakistan povezuje prelaz Tang-e Garu.

Vrhovi Hindukuša su :

  • Tirič Mir (7699 m)
  • Nošak (7492 m)
  • Istor-o-Nal (7403 m)
  • Saragrar I (7338 m)

Napomene uredi

  1. ^ Bojlov persijsko-engleski rečnik ukazuje da je sufiks -koš sadašnji koren glagola 'ubiti' (koštan کشتن‎).[38] Prema lingvisti Fransisu Džozefu Štajngasu, sufiks - kush znači muško; ubica, koji ubija, tlači kao aždaha-kuš.[39]
