Hazara culture

[1][2] The Hazarajat region has an ancient history and was, at different periods, home to the Greco-Buddhist, Ghorids, and Ghaznavids civilizations, later the Mongols and Timurid dynasties.

The Hazaras speak the Dari and Hazaragi dialects and varieties of Persian, which is spoken mostly in Afghanistan.

The Hazara were traditionally pastoral farmers active in herding in the central and southeastern highlands of Afghanistan.

Many Hazara musicians are highly skilled in playing the dambura, a local oud instrument found in other Central Asian countries such as Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, and Tajikistan.

Buzkashi is a Central Asian sport in which horse-mounted players attempt to place a goat or calf carcass in a goal.
