Why are Hazaras so embarrassed of their Mongolic past?
As a Hazara I’ve done every DNA testing known to man, even advanced ones and everytime there’s only been one conclusion. I have Mongol forefathers. Forget that myheritage slop that tells you “80% Central Asia” I’m talking about actual advanced ones. I’ve even done a paternal lineage test so essentially they track the male chromosome to find out who my grandfathers were hundreds or even thousands of years ago and they literally point to Mongols. And this can be said for over half of Hazara men who also carry a paternal lineage that came with the Mongols.
Yet I see people deny this fact and try to lie their way out of it because they see it as an embarrassment somehow? I get that “Mongol” is mostly used as a slur towards us, but it’s for a reason? We came as conquerors and remained ,even quadrupled in numbers. Now with the rise of Hazara identity we must remember who we are. We are not Turkic because we don’t speak the language, only culturally we are slightly Turkic but that also applies to every Central Asian countries who were once ruled by the Mongols.
