The Badzhui (Bajuwi) are a subgroup of the Suhgni, although sometimes considered to be a distinct ethnographic group. They are primarily Ismaili Muslims, much like the Shughni. [1] The Badzhui are also known under the generic term Pamir people.[2] They live in the Rushon District of the Gorno-Badakhshan Autonomous Region, Tajikistan.
