Hazara Town vs Hazara Town, Quetta
editAs Hazara town is just a part of Quetta city therefore I believe the name of the article should be Hazara Town, Quetta. There are many place around the world which are named after Hazara so I believe the article name should be more specific. Hazara Birar (Talk) 07:03, 28 December 2011 (UTC)
- Reminder: I am moving the article to Hazara Town, Quetta. Any suggestions or objections? Hazara Birar (Talk) 10:30, 18 March 2012 (UTC)
Ethnic groups
editRegardless of the name, ethnic Hazaras make up one third while Pashtuns make up the majority.
| “ | Hazara Town is a lower- to middle-income area on the outskirts of Quetta with a population of up to 70,000, of which an estimated one third are Hazara Afghans. The area was established in 1982 by Haji Ali Ahmed (an ethnic Hazara) who bought the land from a Kirani Baloch family and built housing there. Many ethnic Hazaras from Afghanistan who were living in different areas of Quetta moved to the settlement, attracted by cheaper land and the security of the scheme. ... Hazara Town is divided into nine blocks, and almost all the houses are made of concrete. Afghan residents are Persian-speaking Shias, originally from various provinces in central Afghanistan – including Hazaras who migrated to Pakistan well before the war in Afghanistan as well as those who fled as refugees over the recent years of conflict. The community is a distinct minority in Quetta, which is dominated ethnically by Pashtuns and is predominantly Sunni Muslim. | ” |

Please stop putting false and misleading information.--39.41.166.132 (talk) 22:00, 14 April 2013 (UTC)
The above cited reference does not gives any proves about the overall population of Hazara Town but generally telling us that the Sunni Pashtuns are predominantly in majority in Quetta city. There is no any sign of reference toward Hazara Town population. The recent municipality election won by a Hazara candidate with highest number of votes from all wards of Quetta city which refers that Hazaras have more population then any other ethnic in the area.
