Hazara nationalism is a movement that claims the

1890s independence uprisings of Hazaristan and the systematic discrimination many Hazaras have historically faced within Afghanistan.[1]

Hazara ethnicity and nationalism

Hazara nationalism stems from lingual and ancestral roots in the

Hazaristan
region in the modern-day central Afghanistan.

The movement claims to receive considerable support from the

Pashtun-dominated Afghan governments have repeatedly made claims that the Hazara nationalists have received funding from Iran,[2] despite the fact that the Hazara nationalists are against the Iranian regime, and have criticized the theocratic regime on many occasions for discrimination against the Hazara people in Iran. According to them, these accusations are the usual propaganda tactic that the Pashtun-dominated governments use against the Hazara people.[3][4]

Modern Hazara nationalism

Hazara nationalism in its modern form began in the form of the

Mazare Sharif, formed a nationalist organisation, called the Hazara Unity.[7]

There was a revival of Hazara nationalism after the Balkhab uprising, led by Mehdi Mujahid in 2022. In his own words, Mehdi left the Taliban and began rebelling as a result of persecution of Shia Muslims and Hazaras.[8]
