From Slave to Sultan: Baibars and the Mamluk Sultanate of Egypt

[@Rainbow-cs1xx]

The first Muslim Dynasty to Rule India were Turks, and the second were Mamluk Turks. 8 different Muslim Dynasty's Ruled India for 800yrs. 6 were Turks and 2 were Pashtuns. Alahudin Khilajji was also a Turk Ruler of India the only person who defeated the Mongol hordes 6 times consecutively. The great Mughal Empire were also Turks, in Fact they were Turko/mongol they Ruled India for 350yrs. At the height of the Mughal Dynasty's Rule they (India) owned the 25% of the world's GDP.

correct... in china stories, dynasty after dynasty strengthened and lengthened the great wall... besides preventing grasslands tribe warriors, one reason is the entry attempts of turkos (turks) to china...

[@gofar5185]

the mughal empire is a combination of various tribes... only 20% is turk bloodline, their strength and intelligence EXCEL such that they were able to gain various tribes members and dominate the leadership/rulership... like the manchu-warriors who by their EXCELLING strength and intelligence, were able to recruit scattered tribes to join them as one manchus, before they then CAPTURED & HELD the reins of leadership in china, qing dynasty... difference is they assimilated manchus to the dominant hans as "one-peoples one-lands under one sky" that started from the ying-qin peoples leaderships... mughal empire and other muslim leaderships all FAILED to assimilate with the hindus and the sikhs...

The Mughals were descendants of Timur. Timur was a Turk from a tribe of mixed Turko/Mongol background. When Berka Khan (grandson of Gengis Khan) and the Golden horde embraced Islam, they got assimilated with the local Turk tribes. Timur married a princess from China who was a descendant of Gengis Khan. The official language of the Mughal Empire and of all the Muslim Dynasty's of India was Farsi (Persian) but Baber's own mother language was Turkish. Baber wrote a famous book called Babernama which is in the Turkish language.

The names turk and atrak as designating the Mamlüks have lasted up to the very end of the Mamlük sultanate. The Ottomans, their state, and their lands have other names in the Mamlük sources. Even during their conquest of Syria and Egypt the Ottomans are called Uthmaniyya, rüm (or arwüm), and quite frequently taräkima or turkmän." However, atrāk and turkiyya in connection with the Turkish speaking peoples and their lands in and about Anatolia do appear in those sources, albeit very rarely. Already Ibn Fadl Allah al-Umari, in the first half of the fourteenth century, speaks about mamlakat al-atrak bil-rum and bilad al-aträk bil-rüm. A later historian of the mid-fifteenth century, Ibn Taghribirdi, calls those lands al-turkiya, biläd al-turkiyya, and barr al-turkiyya, in connection with the import of wood and flour from Iljün and the supplying by sea of the Mamluk forces fighting the Turkmen Shāh Siwar.¹

I hope you will make a special section on the great Sultan Mahmud Al-Ghaznawi. Sultan Mahmud Al-Ghaznawi is one of the greatest military leaders and the most successful conquerors of his time. He was victorious in all his military campaigns and turned the Ghaznavid state into a vast empire. Also, Sultan Mahmoud Al-Ghaznawi was an educated person, a poet, and the author of books. He was interested in science, supporting scholars, building libraries, and others. Ancient and contemporary historians consider Mahmoud Al-Ghaznawi to be the founder of the Islamic Hindustan era. The Ghaznavid state lasted for a long period of about 200 years. The founder of the Ghaznavid state, Sabuktigin, mentioned in his will to his children that he descended from the Turkic Barskhan tribe.

The genuine appearance of Chinghiz Khan, the real History of Tatars and many Turkic peoples: Perhaps you know, that an outstanding historian-scientist Dr. Iskhakov wrote: ‘the true history of the Tatars, of the people in every respect historical, is not written yet’. And this is absolutely true. But first of all it must be said, that in official history there are many falsifications and slanders about the ‘Tatars - wild nomads’ etc., which were written by pro-Chinese, Persian, also both Russian tsars Romanovs and Bolshevik ideologists. However primarily we should know the truth about the meaning of the names ‘Mongol’ and ‘Tatar’ (‘Tartar’) in the medieval Eurasia: According to many medieval sources, the name ‘Mongol’ until the 17th-18th centuries meant belonging to a political community, and was not the ethnic name. While ‘‘the name ‘Tatar’ was ‘the name of the own ethnos (nation) of Chinghiz Khan'. Also ‘…Chinghiz Khan and his nation did not speak the language, which we now call the ‘Mongolian’…’’ - so wrote an academician-orientalist V.P.Vasiliev, 19th century, who spoke Chinese, Manchu and Khalkha-Mongolian languages and translated little-known ancient eastern sources. These conclusions of Vasiliev are confirmed by also by other many little known data. So in fact Chinghiz Khan was from among the medieval Tatars and the outstanding and progressive leader of the Turkic peoples. About the real faith of Chinghiz Khan and his own people: for example, the Turkish traveler and historian Chelebi (17th century) wrote the following from the words of Tatar alims (scientists): ‘It is proved that Chinghiz Khan was a Muslim, and the Tatars professed Islam already during the life of the Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon Him)’. Also, as Tatar alims told Chelebi, Chingiz Khan had been buried in the Volga region, not far from the city of Astrakhan. Moreover, there is a lot of data about this, hidden from us. It is worth saying that according to many little-known data, the ancient and medieval Tatars were a very developed people both in spiritual and material aspects. It was the medieval Tatars who created the first Constitution of Eurasia, which was called in Tatar ‘Great Yasu’ (‘Yasu’ in Tatar means 'Scripture'). But with time many of their descendants became spiritually disabled and forgot invaluable doctrine and covenants of the creators of Great Yasu... So that the Tatars of Chinghiz Khan - medieval Tatars - were one of the Turkic nations, whose descendants now live in many of the fraternal Turkic peoples of Eurasia - among Tatars, Kazakhs, Bashkirs, Uighurs, and many others. And few people know that the ethnos of medieval Tatars, which stopped the expansion of the Persians and the Chinese to the West of the World in Medieval centuries, is still alive. Despite to the politicians of the tsars Romanovs tsars and Bolsheviks dictators, which had divided and scattered this ethnos to different nations... About everything above mentioned and a lot of the true history of Tatars and other fraternal Turkic peoples, that was hidden from us, had been written, detailed and proved, in the book ‘Forgotten Heritage of Tatars’ - it is one of books by an independent historian Gali Yenikey, translated in Engilsh. His books present a new, or rather, ‘well-forgotten old’ view on the real history of Tatars and many other Turkic peoples. There are a lot of previously little-known historical facts, as well as 16 maps and illustrations in this book. This e-book (in English language) you can easily find in the Internet here: www.kobo.com/ebook/forgotten-heritage-of-tatars-1 or here: payhip.com/b/Xujb On the cover of this book you can see the true appearance of Chinghiz Khan. It is his lifetime portrait. In the ancient Tatar historical source ‘About the clan of Chinghiz Khan’ its author gave the words of the mother of Chinghiz Khan: ‘My son Chinghiz looks like this: he has a golden bushy beard, he wears a white fur coat and rides on a white horse’. As we can see, the portrait of an unknown medieval artist in many ways corresponds to the words of the mother of the Hero, which have come down to us in this ancient Tatar epic. Therefore, this portrait, which corresponds to the information of the Tatar source and to data from other sources, we believe, the most reliably transmits the appearance of Chinghiz Khan...’. And here's another interesting thing: We can't keep silent that some 'very important' official historians try to retell the content (or rather, the concept) of the works of the independent historian Gali Yenikey (Yenikeiev). But they conceal where the information was by them taken from. However it turned out they were unsuccessful and confused - this official historians, apparently, do not dare to show the real history of Tatars, being afraid of their ‘scientific chiefs’. But not only this - see the portrait of Chingiz Khan - see on the 7th minute of the video of the Institute of history of the Academy of Sciences of Tatarstan (Russia): kzbin.info/www/bejne/aYjUc2pnnNhomMU - also this portrait is shown there both before and after. This portrait is reconstruction, which made by Yenikeiev on the basis of a lifetime portrait of Chingiz Khan and of information from the medieval Tatar Dastan (epic) 'About the Origin of Ciingiz Khan', as well as from other historical sources. This portrait was used by authors of the video without Yenikeiev's permission and without telling where the portrait came from. This portrait is published on the cover of G. R. Yenikeiev's book ‘Forgotten heritage of the Tatars’: see: payhip.com/b/Xujb For the first time this portrait was published on the cover of the third book by G. R. Yenikeiev ‘In the footsteps of the black legend’ (published in 2009), see its electronic version: payhip.com/b/DNdC This ‘creativity’ of the official historians is called among the decent people as plagiarism - that is, as theft.
