:::: I politely asked you already to please refrain from making assumptions. The Timurids and Moghals were not Persian. The politics and the culture that Temur and the Moghals cultivated may have been heavily drawn on and influenced by Persian culture, but those peoples themselves were not Persians, especially not their subjects (in the case of the Moghals particularly). You have no argument basically and appear desperate to relate Hazara's to Persians in some kind of vain internet campaign at preventing the 'Pashtunization' of Hazara's. Your political gripes along with inter-ethnic Afghan feuding have no place here. All this article is intended for is to present some factual information about the Persian people, of which the Hazara's are not apart of. Your last response betrays the fact that your cause here is clearly political, and not academic. Therefore, you're fighting your war in the wrong place. And with reference to your moronic allegations of "racism", are barking up the wrong tree. I have nothing against Hazara's. Rejecting your vain attempts to have them included as Persians and as an Iranian people is not racism, it is just simply the truth. Both from a historical point of view, and a contemporary one.
