The Hazaras (Persian: هزاره, romanizedHazāra; Hazaragi: آزره, romanized: Āzrə) are an ethnic group and a principal component of the population of Afghanistan, native to Afghanistan, Pakistan, and Iran. They are one of the largest ethnic groups in Afghanistan and primarily residing in the Hazaristan (Hazarajat) region in central Afghanistan, as well as a significant minority groups mainly in Quetta, Pakistan and Mashhad, Iran. They speak the Dari and Hazaragi dialects of Persian. Dari, also known as Dari Persian, is one of two official languages of Afghanistan.

Hazaras are considered to be one of the most persecuted groups in Afghanistan.[22] More than half of the Hazara population was massacred by the Emirate of Afghanistan between 1888 and 1893,[23] and their persecution has occurred various times across previous decades.[24]
