Daikundi (tribe)

Daikundi is one of the major tribes of the Hazaras of Hazarajat, located in central Afghanistan. They live in Daikundi Province and the Lal Wa Sarjangal District of Ghor province. Daikundis remained secluded and unhinged from the devastation and the resulting uprooting of different Hazara tribes, after the Battle of Uruzgan.

Daikundi Province was created from the upper half of the Uruzgan province of Afghanistan in 2004. Gizab district was shifted back from Daikundi to Uruzgan in 2006.
