The Battle of Uruzgan took place in Uruzgan, Afghanistan during the reign of Amir Abdur Rahman in 1893 between the Hazaras and Abdul Rahman's army, which were government military forces and non-government forces, and the majority of which included the Pashtuns.[4] Thereafter, on Hazara defeat, the Hazaras were uprooted from Uruzgan by Abdur Rahman and Pashtun tribes were settled in Uruzgan. Some Hazaras migrated to British India (Quetta) and Iran (Mashhad). In 1901, Amir Habibullah Khan granted amnesty to the migrated Hazaras and asked them to return. Some returning Hazaras were then resettled in Afghan Turkistan and Balkh Province, but were not allowed to return to Uruzgan.

Aftermath
editA massive forced displacement happened, especially in Oruzgan and Dey Chopan and continued as lands were confiscated and populations were massacred, expelled or fled. Out of 132,000 families, 10,000 to 15,000 Hazara families fled the country to northern Afghanistan, Mashhad (Iran), and Quetta (Pakistan), and 7,000 to 10,000 Hazaras submitted to Abdur Rahman, and the rest fought until they were defeated.[5]
