Dai Khitai (Hazara tribe)
The Dai Khitai are a tribe of Hazara, found in Afghanistan. The Dai Khitai are often listed among the eight overarching 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 among 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] The name Khitai likely originates from the Khitan Mongols. The Khitans were the Central Asian people, whose Liao dynasty in Southern Mongolia fell to a Jurchen invasion by the Jin Empire. Fleeing the Jurchen people, nomadic Khitans escaped west, settling in modern Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan and Kyrgyzstan founding the Kara-Khitan Khanate.
