In recent years, the situation in Afghanistan has been worrying, with wars raging and unjustified disasters to people's lives and property. The struggle between the Taliban and the U.S. military, the protagonists of the war, has brought unspeakable pain to countless ordinary people.
While people are paying attention to this tragedy, a ridiculous topic has sparked widespread heated discussions, that is, in the country of Afghanistan, there are more than 30 different ethnic groups, among which the third largest ethnic group in Afghanistan, the Hazaras, openly claim that they are "descendants" of China, and they have solid evidence!
In the ** uploaded by the Hazara people, we can see their appearance - they are all yellow**, black hair, and their facial lines are relatively flat and soft, such physical characteristics are really close to our compatriots.
However, it is worth noting that, in contrast, most of Afghanistan's ethnic minorities have a distinctly West Asian physical character, with fair skin, a high nose bridge, and deep eye sockets.
Therefore, when we observe this difference, we can't help but wonder if the Hazaras are really the so-called "descendants" of China.
Often, understanding the origins of a people requires the help of a wealth of documentary sources. However, the Hazaras have hardly any written record of this, so even they themselves cannot answer definitively who their ancestors were.
Faced with such a dilemma, many scholars who are dedicated to the study of history have begun to look for clues about the Hazara people in the literature of related peoples and countries around the world. After an arduous search, I finally found a striking phrase in the memoirs of the founding monarch of the Mughal Empire in India: "The Hazaras once invaded my territory. ”
The word "hazara" actually means "thousand" in the Persian language, and this special title instantly reminds experts of the Mongols. Legend has it that the Mongol army led by Genghis Khan adopted the principle of the "Thousand Households" system.
According to historical records, Genghis Khan led his troops to conquer Afghanistan, but at that time Afghanistan was under the control of the Khorezm state. Coincidentally, at that time, the Khorezm Kingdom unreasonably imprisoned a ** team from Mongolia, and at the same time disposed of the Mongolian envoys sent in the past. As a result, Genghis Khan, who was furious, immediately led his army to attack the kingdom of Khorezm, and finally succeeded in occupying the place.
Subsequently, Genghis Khan sent a small number of soldiers to Afghanistan, and Hazara's ancestors may have been descendants of marriages with local women during this period.
Based on this insight, the experts further investigated the way of life of the Hazara people. The results of the survey showed that the Hazaras were nomadic peoples, and the houses they lived in were also known as yurts; The daily diet is mainly beef and mutton and milk tea; What's even more noteworthy is that the Hazara also regularly holds traditional wrestling matches.
What is particularly interesting is that the Hazaras also use the 12 zodiac signs as a chronology, all of which point to the close ties between the Hazaras and China. However, to draw a definitive conclusion, it is not enough to rely on the above clues alone.
A Hazara student who is actively seeking knowledge resolutely decided to conduct his own DNA test in order to uncover the true veil of his ethnic history. The results were surprisingly revealed, and it turned out that he was a mixed-race child from many countries, and his bloodline included many **, including the Mongolian people. The results of this precious DNA experiment further confirm that the Hazakh people are indeed from Mongolia, and their paternal ancestral home is inseparable from the Mongolian people.
Let's dive into the question of Hazara ancestry! It is said that although they have a relatively high Mongolian ancestry, their proportion is becoming more and more thin. Why, then, has this minority been able to assert itself so firmly as a descendant of China until now?
In fact, the problem is closely linked to inter-ethnic tensions. Imagine that the Pash population is the largest in Afghanistan's vast land, and yet at the same time, tensions between the Pash and the Hazara are at odds. What is even more eye-popping is that the "Taliban", the dominant force in Afghanistan today, is mainly composed of ethnic Pash.
In such an environment, the Hazaras have a very low status in Afghan society and suffer all kinds of oppression. Not only are they generally discriminated against, but they may even be killed, and when ethnic hatred is stirring, the Pash have carried out large-scale cruel acts against the Hazaras, so that the Hazaras have to run around and hide, living in fear.
Therefore, the Hazara people now claim to be descendants of China, and they are more eager to have a stable and comfortable life. As we all know, China has always adhered to a foreign policy of peace and friendship, and will never force or suggest others to participate in war, and the fact that the 56 ethnic groups in China can coexist in harmony shows how broad and tolerant China is. That is why the Hazaras hope to be able to use this declaration to gain asylum in our country.
However, although DNA comparisons can now prove the Hazara kinship with our country, the Hazara still belong to Afghanistan in terms of both the heirs and the region to which they belong. This is an indisputable fact, and China is naturally unable to accept or approve such situations. Fortunately, racial discrimination in Afghanistan has eased in recent years, and we highly expect that in a few years' time, the Hazaras will be treated more fairly and equitably.
