Hafiz Ahangarpoor (born 1952 in Baba Ali, Abshar District, Panjshir Province) was a Hazara political activist and revolutionary who was active in leftist movements in Afghanistan during the 1970s.
He grew up in a poor and working-class family. His father worked as a blacksmith, and for this reason the nickname “Ahangarpoor” (meaning “son of a blacksmith”) became associated with him.
The difficult conditions of his family life and his early experiences working in a blacksmithing environment familiarized him with the problems of the working class, which played an important role in shaping his political and revolutionary views.
