@SuperWali007 Part 1 Which afghan you are talking about, 1865s in that era Hazara was the largest ethnic group of Afghanistan, forming more than 65% of total population of Afghanistan. 1890s by the president of Afghanistan(Abdul Rahman) has killed more than 65% of Hazara. 70 to 72% land which was under hand of Hazara were occupy and given to the pashtoons and other tribes. But when Hazara loses that much population and lands of Hazarajat.

[@SuperWali007]

oh yeah brother pride of hazara ,not pride of afghanistan :) why is hazara not from afghanistan actualy ?!

[@SabirHussain05]

@SuperWali007 Part 2 In Mazar-e-Sharif in two weeks more than 28000 thousand Hazara were killed. Another ethnic group which is tajik second largest group, they as well do same like pashtoon, In few areas of Kabul which Hazara holds good position they killed thousands of man, woman and even child in a week. You must be aware of Afshar and Ghar Kabul (West Kabul) the killing of Hazara. Why we were not Afghan!!!

[@SabirHussain05]

@SuperWali007 Part 3 One of the oldest buddha was destroy by Taliban, the fact behind that it was telling the world how old history Hazara people are having. The constitution of a country or UN constitution allow us to practice our religious ceremony the way which we want, but in Afghanistan from era of 1880s to Now everyone is trying to convert Hazara like the other sects. Just once read the history, It is not that i am making story. It is fact. Why we were not Afghan!!!

[@alexdonald6895]

aww this was truly the greatest moment for Afghanistan! Good luck for London Olympics, Rohullah can truly get the gold medal!

[@maratibrahim5986]
