Daikundi also spelled as Dai Kundi, (Dari: دایکندی) is one of the major tribes of the Hazara people of Hazarajat, located in central Afghanistan.[1] They live in Daikundi Province and the Lal Wa Sarjangal, Chaghcharan, Dawlatabad, Charsadda and Pasaband districts of Ghor Province. Daikundis remained secluded and unhinged from the devastation and the resulting uprooting of different Hazara tribes, after the Battle of Uruzgan.
The Daikundi have traditionally been very closely allied with the Daizangi . Subsets of the Daikundi include the Ainak, Alak, Babuli, Baibagh, Barat, Bubak, Chahkuk, Chahush, Chora, Daulat Beg, Doda, Fihristan, Haider Beg, Jami, Jasha, Kalanzai, Kaum-i-Ali, Khudi, Khushak, Mamaka, Mir Hazar, Neka, Roshan Beg, and Saru.[2]
Daikundi Province was created from the upper half of the Uruzgan province of Afghanistan in 2004. It partially fulfilled the Hazara demand that their land be restored to them. The Hazaras were uprooted from Uruzgan after the 1893 Battle of Uruzgan, and Pashtun tribes were settled on their land.
