Anti-Hazara comments

yeah... they looked nothing like Hazaras

I agree, everyone should read The Kiterunner to get a lot of non biased info on the Hazaras. It's a great book.

Yes, I do not understand why the hostility towards the hazara people had to be said by Khyber (their guide and driver)?? And yes it added even more insult to injury when it turned out that the guards at the next check point which they were referring to weren't even Hazara. So, what was the point of this judgement made about the hazara's?
"These people have been historically denied rights and representation due to thier religion (Shi'a Islam) and their physical Characteristics. "Kite Runner" is a good example of this prejudice." This is an extremely good point! Though, I was born in Kabul and both my parents are as they say "Kabuli," I have some what Asiatic feauturs that make me look more like a Hazara, and I got alot of grief from friends and family, growing up partly in Pakistan, alot of people would make a remark about my features and make fun of me. I never understood why. All I know is that I thought it was extremely unfair and totally irrational.
I suppose most of the hostility comes from the fact that they have chosen to follow a differnt sect of Islam...

Thank God the government banned it!

Sentences used in the film against Hazara's are unacceptable. This film is against whole Afghan people. Hazara's make upto 29% of Afghan population. Both the film director and writer have been used by other ethnic groups in Afghanistan, like Tajiks who make up 9% of afghan population. I wonder how such big names have been used so cheaply. This is a matter of shame for Bollywood who's legends are such thick minded.
When Hazaras are taking part in the contructions of Aghanistan the neighbour countries should take part in a positive way rathar than escalating the situation of war torn Afghan people.

Out of such a curiosity I was waiting for the movie KABUL EXPRESS,But when I watched this movie ,It really shocked me ,When I saw how they discriminated Hazara ethnic group and characterized them as an evil image in the movie.But as a matter of fact 65% of Hazara people has been genocide since the reign of king Abdul Rahman Khan till the fall of Taliban,Before the offence against the Hazara people were through different ways like mass killing ,abuse ,treating them as low class afghan citizens ,since its believed that Hazaras came with the army of Genghis Khan,Today we are observing that Hazaras are being discriminated through different means ,And a very good example is the movie Kabul Express,Now one must think who should be blamed for this discrimination ,Bollywood and Hazaras,what they have to do with eachother,though I'm pretty sure that at least hundred thousands of Hazara s watch bollywood movies all over the world,For a while I was thinking and trying to figure out ,then I came to the conclusion that we still have evil elements active in the capital Kabul,who guided these movie makers how to make ur script,And those evil elements knew that what exaclty they are trying to show ,My point is towards Kabir Khan as well ,whose backround is obviously pashtoon ,An old rival for Hazara Mughuls,And few other culprits who played a major role while making this movie ,which I must say is baseless and has got nothing to do with Hazaras ,Though all those made up stories against Hazaras directly applies to Pashtoons who are well known for human trafficing and sending illegal cars across the borders of Afghanistan,So in the end I must say the movie really disappointed me ,And I guess bollywood movies are good to watch when they make love stories,because it keeps those people entertained who live in a world of fantasys ,Alpes ranges of Switzerland where we see bollywood actors running back and fourth ,

Now before I post, let me say that I have no prior knowledge about the Hazaras.

That being said, I'm wondering...is it possible that the director is portraying the Hazaras from a certain group's point of view (for example, the Afghans?). As I said, I have no knowledge about the Hazaras, and the conflict...I threw Afghans out there as an example, no stereotypes meant.
