Calto sits in | Calto sits in [[Audonia]]'s southern region [[Daria]], and its area was primarily settled by Afghan and Pakistani peoples, and is the confluence of Eastern Islamic, Hindu, Zoroastrian, Sikh, Jain, and Buddhist civilization. Much of Pukhtunistan's pre-history and early history is largely defined by the presence of nomadic tribes who were ancestors of the Afghan/Pakistani people, similar to the rest of south-central [[Audonia]]. In the Classical period the area was part of large Buddhist, Hindu, and Zoroastrian empires like the [[Arunid Empire]]. The critical change in this region came in the medieval period, as the region was subject to significant Islamic influence, particularly during the [[Oduniyyad Caliphate]]. As a result there are strong Islamic influence on the culture of Pukhtunistan. | ||
