KIEFFER the third largest ethnic group of Afghanistan, after the Pashtuns and the Tājiks, who represent nearly a fifth of the total population. OVERVIEW of article: i. Historical geography of Hazārajāt, ii. History, iii. Ethnography and social organization, iv. Hazāragi dialect. HAZĀRA I. HISTORICAL GEOGRAPHY OF HAZĀRAJĀT ARASH KHAZENI Hazārajāt, the homeland of the Hazāras, lies in the central highlands of Afghanistan. In some respects Hazārajāt denotes an ethnic and religious zone rather than a geographical one–that of Afghanistan’s Turko-Mongol Shiʿites. This Article Has Images/Tables. HAZĀRA II. HISTORY ALESSANDRO MONSUTTI Among the Hazāras themselves, three main theories exist: they are of Mongolian or Turko-Mongolian descent; they are the pre-Indo- European autochthones of the area; or they are of mixed race as a result of several waves of migration. This Article Has Images/Tables. HAZĀRA III. ETHNOGRAPHY AND SOCIAL ORGANIZATION ALESSANDRO MONSUTTI It would be misleading to present a fixed and definitive image of the main Hazāra tribes, as the affiliations are changing over time and the designations reflect the political situation. HAZĀRA IV. HAZĀRAGI DIALECT CHARLES M. KIEFFER The number of hazāragi speakers is approximately 1.8 million. The Afghan hazāragi varieties of Persian are essentially very close to modern tājiki, or rather of modern dari Persian, or even kāboli Persian, but their typology still has to be fully defined. This Article Has Images/Tables. HAZĀRASPIDS C.

PERRY Persian poet and scholar (1692-1766), emblematic of the cultivated Shiʿite mirzā of Safavid and post-Safavid Iran who fled a politically dangerous and economically depressed milieu for the courts of Muslim India. HAŽIR, ʿABD-AL-ḤOSAYN FAKHREDDIN AZIMI (1895-1949), Minister, Prime Minister, Court Minister. Hažir’s assassination was primarily a result of the religio-political sentiments mobilized against him. Such sentiments were accentuated by his high-profile royalism, his identification with the least popular policies and conduct of the court and the government, particularly the rigging of elections, and his image as a close ally of the British.
