This community migrated from Afghanistan to Bolachistan about 150 years ago and settled here. Mass migration of Hazara population in Bolachistan took place in late 19th century during the persecution during the regime of king Abdu Rehman.In past 3 decades above 2 thousand Hazras have been killed by Taliban in Afghanistan . After 9/11 religious extremist and terrorists in Afghanistan and Pakistan have joined hands to destabilise this region.

Some people associated with socio economic prosperity which Hazra enjoys such as trade,sports, education and main markets in the hub of the city and progress rapidly in Bolachistan that’s why the land Mafia could be involve in their killing. Some Hazars respondent think that their own community members are involved for their killing. Non Hazras respondents also endorsed their views.Many people think that it’s sectarian issue,Hazra are affiliated to Shia sect and consequently to present day Iran, a declared Shia state.According to Human Rights Watch “the ideological and diplomatic clash between Sunni (Saudis)and Shia (Iran) manifest it self a proxy war among these two sects.”Home and tribal Affairs department of Bolachistan told to NCHR those terrorists infiltrating from Afghanistan and involved in Hazara Killing, terrorist hire native people for their purpose.
