  3. History of Hazaras • “History - ( Tareekh )Hazaras history is fascinating to say the least.

  6. Types of Houses • “Housing varies by location and season. In valleys, shelters are sun-dried bricks plastered with a mud/straw mixture; at higher elevations, homes are stone with timber roofs; in summer tents are used as flocks move to high meadow pastures.”("Hazara of Afghanistan Ethnic People Profile.“)

  7. Religion • Islam ("Countries and Their Cultures.“) • “Muslims celebrate their religious holidays by going to the mosque for group prayers. Then they return home to large meals with family and visiting relatives." ("Countries and Their Cultures.“)

  9. Family • “It is customary for extended families to live together in one house, including grandparents and women married to the sons of the household. Newborn babies are usually named by the older people of the household. Grandparents are actively involved in raising their grandchildren. After the death of the grandparents, especially the grandfather, the sons usually begin living in separate households of their own.” ("Countries and Their Cultures.“)

  10. Education • “Hazaras have two systems of education. The traditional system provides religious instruction and informal home education in practical tasks, according to whether the student is a girl or a boy. The formal education system is that found in schools administered by the government. Most students attend these schools only through the sixth grade. A few of the best students are then sent to Kabul to continue their education.” ("Countries and Their Cultures.“)
