List of Hazara people

Hazara people make up the third largest ethnic group in Afghanistan, where they mainly inhabit the Hazaristan region,[1] as well as parts of Pakistani Balochistan. The Hazaras in abroad are counted as Afghan nationals by the Government of Pakistan and the UNHCR, and some are living in these countries on temporary bases as refugees. In addition, other number of Hazaras have immigrated to Iran, Australia, Europe, and North America in the last several decades also as part of these two intertwined diasporean groupings, as part of the Hazara and wider Afghan diaspora. Below is the list of some notable Hazara people.
