AHC - Wank or Relocate the Hazara

The OTL Hazara are largely located at the center of Afghanistan and have been on the receiving end of persecution since the 16th century, the challenge is to either wank if possible or somehow relocate the Hazara so an ATL Hazarajat is instead established closer to Persia in the OTL Afghan provinces of Herat and Farah.
 
A continued Safavid dominion under Is'mail would likely lead to either a clientalization of the Timurid power in Qabul under Babur Shah Timurid or its outright conquest after the Safavid victory and desolation of the Shaybani. This would lead inevitably to the Hazara having a privileged status in Afghanistan that was denied them due to successive Sunni regimes from the reign of Timur till modern times under the Taliban.

Not quite what you're looking for, but you could have Afghanistan enter WWI on the side of the Central Powers (which came close to happening in our TL--the Afghan Amir was against it but most other people in the Afghan court were for it) and have the Entente create and sponsor a Hazara separarist rebellion in Afghanistan (along with a Russian annexation of the Uzbek-majority areas of Afghanistan in order to create a common border between Russia and this new Hazara state).

Indeed, would that work for this?
