History

In the late 19th century, Ishaq Khan rebelled against Afghan king Abdur Rahman Khan at Mazar-e Sharif. Abdur Rahman sent a force against the Ishaq Khan, passing through the Sheikh Ali territory. During their passage the force faced many skirmishs with the local Sheikh Ali over the scarce food and fodder. Once Abdur Rahman quashed the rebellion of Ishaq, he then focused on the Sheikh Ali Hazaras. The Sheikh Ali also resisted, this low level but violent expedition by Abdur Rahman, forced the Hazaras at large to rise against Abdur Rahman, in retaliation for the attacks on the Sheikh Ali Hazaras. This Hazara uprising resulted in the Jang-i-Uruzgan ("Battle of Uruzgan").

Thereafter, the Sheikh Ali faced a severe backlash from Abdur Rahman, who forcibly evicted many of them from their lands. During this process and there esattled in Kunduz, many of the Sheikh Ali Hazaras perished. Those who reached faced extinction or forced conversion to Sunni Islam. There were a few Sheikh Ali Hazaras who migrated to Quetta, the Shia ones lived with the larger Hazara group in Quetta.

ALi released her first album SOULri in December 2011 which was strangely two years after her official debut. One released track, "Na Young", garnered immediate controversy as its lyrics referenced a case of sexual assault that had been a very public case in South Korea, with many detractors criticizing the song to be insensitive to its subject. ALi would later address this controversy by revealing that she herself was a survivor of sexual assault.
