Hazara

The Hazara are an ethnic group primarily found in Afghanistan, known for their distinct cultural identity, language, and history. They mainly speak Hazaragi, a dialect of Dari influenced by Persian, and are predominantly Shia Muslims, which sets them apart from the majority Sunni Muslim population in Afghanistan. The Hazara people have faced significant discrimination and violence throughout history, particularly under the Taliban regime and during various conflicts. They are recognized for their rich cultural heritage, including traditional music and art, and also for their resilience in the face of adversity.
