Ta kay shawim bech?ra ay hashm zam?n barkhez N?b?d bek?n mard?na har doshman-e kh?n kh?r Har gosha-e az mayhan b? kh?n-e to? rangin astД«? вЂazm khod qayem b?sh ay nasl-e fid? k?r, Mayhan ba to men?zad ch?n sel-e raw?n barkhez, The first person who started revolutionary songs was Sarwar Sarkhosh and his main message was for the young generation to rise and fight oppression and occupation. It was political music, and it promoted freedom, awakening and political mobilization. In 1980s a new kind of music began to develop, and it was called ?hangha-e inqil?bi (the revolutionary songs). In the 1980s more than twenty books and hundreds of articles were published on the different aspect of the history of the Hazara nation, before that, hardly any books were available.

Other than the historians, singers, there were poets, intellectuals, writers, and artists that took active part in shaping Hazara identity. Hazara revolutionary songs and historical literature were only among many activities that was taking place in the public sphere. In 1980s there were not only major changes in political landscape, but culturally, economically, and socially there was a revolution. These parties were Nehzat Islami Afghanistan, Sazman-e Nasr Afghanistan, Jabha-e Azadibakhsh, Pasdaran-e Jihad Islami.These parties that had IranвЂ™s support too, challenged the locally elected Shor? and defeated them by 1994. Several organizations were formed in Iran that upheld KhomeiniвЂ™s ideology of Guardianship of the Jurist ( Wilayat-e Faqih). Many political clerics were influenced by the Islamic revolution there. 3 Since the time of resistance to the Communists and Soviet Union coincided with the Islamic Revolution in Iran. Itah?dya-e Mujahidin Islami Afghanistan was formed in 1979 based in Quetta that included Hazara nationalists, and Hazara political refugees who had fled the war in Afghanistan. There was tension up until the end on what really should constitute Hazara identity. There were questions on what it really meant to be a Hazara in modern sense. Then, there was a long period of competition in Hazarajat between different political groups and different ideologies. 2 For the next ten years, Hazarajat was ruled by Hazaras themselves. In 1979, a political party was formed to keep security in Hazarajat Shor?y-e Itafaq was formed, after the council of 1200 Hazara khans and Mullahs. In 1979, Hazarajat was among the first regions to declare its autonomy and resist against the state. In a year, the government lost support and was dysfunctional Soviets came to the rescue to stabilize the situation. Unpopular and inexperienced regime took power. In 1978, there was a communist Coup by PDPA party, and the old political structure ended. 1 These groups were demanding more rights, and advocating for change in governance in Afghanistan. Others were member of religious movements such as Sazman-e Mujahideen-e MosatazвЂfin-e Afghanistan. Hazara intellectuals took active part in politics in sixties and seventies some were members of communist parties such as PDPA (PeoplesвЂ™ Democratic Party of Afghanistan.) New Democratic Movement (A Maoist group). Free press and political parties began to emerge.

The questions I try to answer are: why such literature was being written, what are the popular discourses in these texts and music, and what is the advice of the writers of these texts and artist who sing?Д«y 1960s and 70s constitution was introduced in Afghanistan. My primary sources are the historical literature and the political music of eighties and nineties. As identity is historical, and changing, I will examine the historical literature and political music to understand what kind of nationalist ideology is being promoted in 1980s and 1990s by Hazara historians and artists. The Hazara nationalism emerged in 1980s, and kept changing with circumstances. Hazaras thought that they were not being represented well, and they were kept away from political decision making process. The Hazara nationalism was a response and reaction to the Afghan Nationalism. The Hazara Nationalism: in Music and Historical Literature
