  2. The Hazaras • The Hazara people have distinct Mongolian features. • They are they most oppressed minority group in Afghanistan. • Scientists believe that Hazaras are descendants of Genghis Khan and his soldiers, who invaded in the 13th century (genetic tests). • Hazaras live in central mountainous highlands called, Hazarajat. • A Hazarajat is an underdeveloped rural area • Hazaras are also Turkish people and are descendants of the Kushans (Larson). • The main languages spoken by the Hazara people are Hazaragi, which is a dialect of Persian, and Farsi and Dari. • Shi’a Muslims also known as the “Twelvers” (“World Directory”).

  4. Shi’a Muslims • Hazaras are Shi’a Muslim. • Shi’a Muslims have faced prosecution and discrimination for centuries. • Shi’a believe that the caliph should be spiritual and political and should be chosen by lineage. • Shi’a Muslims have religious practices such as Muharram, and pilgrimages to the shrines of the Twelve Imams and their various descendants(“world Directory”). • The teachings of Muhammad were carried out through his descendants and they believed that Ali should have been the caliph. • Hazaras live by the Qur’an, the revelation of Muhammad written by his followers. • The Pashtuns are Sunni Muslims and they want just the opposite.

  7. History of the Hazaras • Hazaras settled in Afghanistan in the thirteenth century. • During the 20th century, Hazaras were forced to migrate to Kabul because of prosecution, where they worked as laborers and market vendors. • They were sold as slaves and a massacre killed more than half of the Hazara population in 1893 due to their political views (reign of Amir Abdul Rahman). • Hazaras are not capable of getting the services they needed. • Hazaras maintain low socio-economic statuses. • During the 1960s and 1970s, Hazaras faced political oppression and were forced to conform, which prolonged the civil war for the past two decades. • The Hazaras were prosecuted and driven out of their lands and the Taliban tried to dismiss them historically (“World Directory”).
