Hazarajat or Hazaristan - the heart of the Hazara homeland that was illegally annexed into today's Afghanistan mostly after the genocide of Hazaras during 1890's. The rugged and magnificent beauty is reflective of the nature of its inhabitants - the Hazaras.

The GENOCIDE of Hazaras in Quetta, Pakistan, has gone virtually unnoticed by the World.
For the past decade, Hazaras in Pakistan are singled out due to their Ethnic and Religious identity, and subjected to daily targeted killings and suicide bomb blasts by the terrorist networks. The Al-Qaida affiliated terrorist networks are financed by Saudi Government (and other wealthy Arabs in the Gulf) and protected by the highest authorities of the Pakistani Government.
On June 16, 2011, Pakistan's Olympian boxer and a Hazara icon, Syed Ibrar Hussain Hazara was gunned down metres away from a Federal Government security force (FC force) checkpost. No law enforment agency challenged the terrorists who simply walked away from the scene.
On Aug 31, 2011, an explosive-laden truck drivin by a suicide bomber targeted the Hazara worshippers after the Eid prayers in the heart of the Hazara area known as the "Alamdar Road." Eleven Hazaras were killed including women and children and dozens were injured. No terrorists have been brought to justice to date.
On Sept 20, 2011, armed terrorists intercepted a bus enroute to Taftan (border town to Iran in Balochistan province), singled out all 26 Hazara passengers and shot them dead. Terrorists reportedly stayed at the scene for 10 minutes firing with automatic weapons to ensure no one survived. The terrorists, in no apparent hurry, then headed towards Quetta city (as oppose to running away from it) to set a second ambush, waited for more then an hour, and attacked Hazaras who were rushing to the scene after the news of the incident spread like a wild fire throughout the city. At least three Hazaras were killed during the second ambush. As has been the pattern for the past one decade, law enforcement only arrived after the terrorists left.
On Sept 27, 2011, the Hazara nation was alarmed to hear the news that the Pakistani Government (instead of apprehending the terrorists) have singled out the Hazara ethnicity by requiring them to obtain a No Objection Certificate "NOC" before travelling anywhere in Balochistan or neighboring countries.
This decision was cleverly masked as "ensuring safety of Hazaras during their travel." How Pakistani Government thinks it can provide NOC and protection to over half a million Hazaras is anyone's guess given that a majority of Hazaras are targeted on a daily basis on a few mile stretch of Sariab Road in Quetta with several security check posts (see Google Map) and in the heart of the Hazara area.
On Sept 23, 2011, another three Hazaras were taken off a van/bus and executed in cold blood. No terrorists were caught.
On Oct 4, 2011, another 12 Hazara laborers were forced off from a bus, made them stand in a line and sprayed them bullets. Terrorists walked away from scene with no law enforcement interfering during and after the incident.
The Lashkar Jhangvi terrorist organization, that has claimed responsibility of virtually all the Hazara killings, have vowed to wipe all Hazaras from Pakistan.

Lashkar Jhangvi, Al-Qaida affiliate; Sources of finance: Saudi Arabia and wealthy Arabs in the Gulf
The Lashkar Jhangvi terrorist network (mostly responsible for attack on Hazaras and Shias), an affiliate of Al-Qaida, has vowed to continue killing half a million Hazaras in Pakistan.
A few weeks before the massacre, the LeJ had circulated an open letter addressed to Hazaras in Quetta. Written in the Urdu language, the letter stated:
"All Shi'ites are worthy of killing. We will rid Pakistan of unclean people. Pakistan means land of the pure and the Shi'ites have no right to live in this country. We have the edict and signatures of revered scholars, declaring Shi'ites infidels. Just as our fighters have waged a successful jihad against the Shi'ite Hazaras in Afghanistan, our mission in Pakistan is the abolition of this impure sect and its followers from every city, every village and every nook and corner of Pakistan..."
