The Hazaras are an ethnic group primarily residing in Afghanistan, with smaller populations in Pakistan and Iran. Distinguishable by their Asiatic appearance, distinct Farsi dialect (Hazaragi), and predominantly Shi’a faith, they form one of the major ethnic groups in the predominantly Sunni Muslim country of Afghanistan (Click to read more). Their unique cultural and physical traits reflect their deep historical roots and heritage..
Throughout history, the Hazara people have faced severe adversities, including social, economic, and political marginalization. One of the most devastating periods occurred during the reign of Abdur Rahman Khan (1880-1901), when a systematic campaign of persecution was carried out against them. During this time, 60 percent of the Hazara population was massacred or displaced. These atrocities, driven by sectarian and ethnic prejudices against their Shia Muslim identity, led to the decimation of their communities and the loss of vast amounts of their land.
The impact of this period has deeply shaped the socio-political and cultural landscape of the Hazara people, yet they have continued to demonstrate remarkable resilience in preserving their cultural identity amid ongoing challenges.
