TheHazaras are an ethnic group originally from theHazaristan (Hazarajat) region in centralAfghanistan. Although their ancestral homeland is located in this mountainous area, Hazaras are now dispersed throughout Afghanistan and have established sizable communities in cities such asQuetta, Pakistan, andMashhad, Iran, as well as in other regions globally.
The Hazara people are composed of several major tribes. Some of the most prominent Hazara tribes includeSheikh Ali,Jaghori,Jaghatu,Qara Baghi,Muhammad Khwaja,Behsudi,Dai Mirdad,Turkmun,Uruzgani,Dai Kundi,Dai Zangi,Dai Chopan,Dai Zinyat,Qarlugh, andAimaq Hazara, among others. These tribes trace their origins to Hazaristan, a region that includes areas such asBamyan,Ghor,Ghazni,Orozgan,Daikundi,Maidan Wardak,Parwan,Balkh, and more. Today, Hazara communities are dispersed across Afghanistan, parts of Pakistan and Iran, as well as other regions with significant Hazara populations.[1][2]
