"The Hazara have survived every attempt to erase them. They are still here. Their story is still being written."
The Hazara are a Dari-speaking ethnic group with roots in the central highlands of Afghanistan - Hazarajat. One of history's most persecuted minorities, and one of the world's least-known. Their history spans more than a thousand years of documented presence in the region. Hazaras now live on six continents. Their culture - language, music, poetry, art - is alive, evolving, and worth knowing.
