Daizangi

Daizangi (or Dhaizangi) is one of the major tribes of the Hazaras of Hazarajat in central Afghanistan. They inhabit the Bamian, Uruzgan, Panjao and Waras districts of Bamyan Province, Sahristan District in Daikundi Province and the Gizab District in Urozgan Province. They are said (in the absence of any reliable statistics) to be the largest and one of the most powerful tribe of the Hazaras. The 19th-century Hazara Mir (Chieftain) Mir Azeem Beg and Mir illkhani was the mir of the Daizangi who led the final battle of the Hazaras against the Afghan Amir (Abdur Rahman Khan) in the battle of Urozgan.
