Dai Khitai

The Dai Khitai are a tribe of Hazara, found in Afghanistan. The Dai Khitai are often listed among the eight over-arching Hazara tribes, though not among the five "original tribes".[1] However, other resources list them as being among the "real" Hazara tribes, "the Dai groups"[2], or as one of the "original"[3] tribes.

Regardless of their position amongst the major groupings, the Dai Khitai are often seen as coming together with the Dai Chopan tribe to form the larger Uruzgani Hazara tribe.[4][5]
