Abstract

The Turk presence in India dates back to BC. In the 9th century, with the conversion of the Uighurs to religions such as Buddhism and Brahmanism, religious and cultural elements of Indian origin began to spread among the Turks. Turk dominance in India, which started with Gazneli Mahmud at the beginning of the 10th century, continued with the periods of the Delhi Turk Sultanate, Gurlus, Halachs, Tugluks, Timurids. The Mughal domination, which started in the 16th century, lasted until the middle of the 19th century. During this period, a significant part of India became Islamized and Turkic increased its importance. In this process, Turkic, which was used side by side with Arabic and Persian among the members of the dynasty and Muslims, was taught with dictionaries and grammar books as well as being a literary language, became a daily communication language and thus preserved its importance for centuries. However, Turkic, which started to lose its power since the beginning of the 20th century, is taught only at an academic level in a limited area today and lives with its memories in the languages used in India.
