#2 "According to Qaseem Akhgar, a prominent Afghan historian and political analyst, Hazara people have been living in Afghanistan for more than 2,000 years."

Probably not true. Hazara ethnicity can only be traced back about 500 years.

In Afghanistan, the fact that they speak a dialect with a lot of Persian loan words made them easily identifiable when the Taliban were looking for Shia to murder back in the late 1990s.

One assumes the Afghan Hazaris share the strongly oriental appearance of the Pakistani Hazaris, as well.
