Later on he proceeded and the left behind battalion lived in Afghanistan forever. The same battalion in Afghanistan took name of HAZARA because in Changez Khan Army one Battalion used to be consisting of One thousand men and hence its name was HAZAR.Note that this version of Hazaras history is not the final one.There is another History version too,claiming that Hazaras were living in Afghanistan even before Changez Khan's Invasion.The Bamiyan Budhas(The historic ones) were constructed by Hazara people reflecting thier own Physical appearance.The Budhas are thousands of years old.

The Hazaras are one of strong, warrier natured nation so the British Army picked up the best Hazara men to recruit them in British Army; hence a battalion was formed by the name of Hazara Pioneers in 1900 in Quetta. The Hazara Pioneers provedto be one of the best battalions in British army. It rescued many people and worked selflessly for the Quetta city in 1935 earthquake disaster. The railway tracks and tunnels of Baluchistan are also made by Hazara Pioneers which are still in great use. After celebrating the 25^th birthday of Hazara pioneers it was dismissed. A large number of Hazara nation men were released who were experienced and equivalent to educated people due to depth of their knowledge and intelligence. These retired Hazara nation Army men then set up businesses, rise up their families and hence settled in Baluchistan with great grace hoping for the bright future.
