The article quotes Russian geographer and martial researcher A. At the same time they are also a very lively, hospitable and curious nation. At one time, they served the Persian rulers, thwarting the gradual advancement of Turkmen predatory raids deep into Iranian territory in the north of the country.
In recent decades, there has also been a steady flow of Hazara refugees to Iran from Afghanistan. They constitute the majority of illegal migrants fleeing to Iran from harassment by the Baloch and Pushtuns in neighboring countries.
Researchers note that the Hazaras have always been distinguished by the lack of unity and division along tribal line. They always usually count 8 tribes: Sheikhali, Besud, Daisangi, Uruzgani, Jaguri, Daikunti, Fuladi, but each ethno-territorial community has its own way of life. Thus, for instance two neighbouring villages of Hazaras of two different clans in Kalai-Nov in Khorasan have almost no contact with each other. However, in more recent times a process of national consolidation may be observed, necessitated first of all by the many hardships that they are made to suffer.
A World Council of Hazaras has been formed, but significant differences in the social and cultural development, especially amongst those who migrated and those who have stayed behind in their own land, has been an obstacle in this consolidation process.
The main traditional occupations are land cultivation and cattle breeding. They hardly ever interact with the neighbouring communities and lead a semi-isolated lifestyle.
As far as religious affiliations go, most Hazaras are Shiites-Imamites, though small groups of Sunni and Ismaili Hazaras also exist in Afghanistan. In some places the community also holds on to some remnants of pre-Islamic and animistic traditions.
As Shiites, Hazaras have become objects of religious persecution, by Sunnis, many of whom consider Shias to be apostates. This persecution became more pronounced after the emergence of the Taliban in Afghanistan. It is this that has prompted the mass migrations of Hazaras to Iran which shares close religious affinities with them. The Hazaras have a long history of being targeted by Pashtun tribes, beginning at least since the XVI century.
During the reign of Amir Abdullah Rahman , who is considered the founder of modern Afghanistan, a thousand Hazaras were massacred, enslaved and banished. At least half of the total population of the Hazaras relocated to neighbouring Baluchistan, in British India and to the Khorasan province in Iran. Hazaras migrated to Quetta from Afghanistan in In order to seek revenge for the brutalities they suffered, they joined the British army.
Therefore, it can be concluded that racial discrimination is harmful to the people and society because it teaches people to make judgments about others in terms of group-based expectations or standards.

Abstract Khaled Hosseini's novel entitled The Kite Runner is an American bestseller novel that represents racial conflict between the Pashtuns and Hazaras, two different races and ethnics in Afghanistan.
Because of the Asian face of the Hazaras, Iranian police and people identified them as Afghan, though they are not Afghan and they are Hazaras. Iranian regime uses religion in regional games and Hazara enemies have huge propaganda campaign and lobbying against the Hazaras in Afghanistan and Pakistan. I found this helpful.
