इतिहास और लोग

१८९० के दशक तक नूरिस्तान को नहीं जाना जाता था | इस इलाक़े के नूरिस्तानी लोग इस्लाम की बजाए एक हिन्दु-धर्म से मिलता-जुलता धर्म रखते थे।^[2] १८९५-९६ में अफ़्ग़ानिस्तान के अमीर अब्दुर रहमान ख़ान ने आक्रमण कर के यहाँ क़ब्ज़ा जमा लिया और उसी समय इस इलाक़े का नाम बदलकर 'नूरिस्तान' (यानि 'प्रकाश का स्थान') रख दिया गया।^[3]^[4]
