The Forgotten Land
Daikundi, is one of the thirty-four provinces of Afghanistan but poorest, deprived and forgotten. Daikundi’s capital is Nili. It is located about 310 kilometres from Kabul, and falls into the traditionally ethnic Hazara region known as the Hazarajat. Despite centuries of persecution and the denial of basic civil rights, Hazaras have become leaders in today’s newly emerging Afghanistan. Education is especially important to them, and it shows. Hazara literacy rates are higher than the national average, and nearly all Hazara children—both boys and girls—attend school and go on to university. Click Image.
