Jaghori (Hazara tribe)
Summary

Hazara tribe

Abdullah Khan, was a Hazara chief of the Jaghori tribe in [[Jaghori, Ghazni]].

Jaghori () is a major tribe of the Hazara people in Afghanistan. The tribe primarily originates from and resides in the Jaghori District of Ghazni Province. In addition to their presence in Afghanistan, many Jaghoris have settled in Pakistan, particularly in Quetta, where they form the majority of the Hazara population in neighborhoods such as Hazara Town and Mariabad. The Jaghori tribe was among the earliest Hazara groups to settle in Quetta, playing a key role in establishing and developing the local Hazara community.

Divisions

Hazara researcher Muhammad Isa Gharjistani identified the major branches of the Jaghori in 1989: the Baighani (or Ata), Yazdari (Ezdari), Baghocari, and the Oqi from which General Musa Khan is from.

History

The Jaghori Hazaras mentioned in records from 1881 CE as being led by Chief Safdar Ali. It was noted that they had received a khillit (a robe of honor) and had been conciliated by the Afghan Amir Abdur Rahman.

The Jaghori tribe of the Hazaras faced severe persecution under Abdur Rahman Khan, during which a significant portion of their population was massacred. This brutal campaign greatly diminished the number of Jaghoris.

In the Hazara Pioneers, the Hazara unit in the British army was raised in 1904 by Major Claude Jacob (Later Field Marshal Sir Claude Jacob) in Quetta, British Balochistan Agency. Its class composition had two out of four companies comprising Jaghoris.
