Introduction of Turkiye by Indian Diplomat

[El Sidd]

Curiously the Muslim converts of some parts of India face slurs like Turkulu or Slaves.

Following this introduction, mass cancellation of tourist trips from India to Turkiye and Azerbaijan took place as the first measure of offense.

There have been calls in India media to revive Kurdish nationalism and monetary help to Greece.

Turkulu

Spelling mistake. It's not Turkulu. They are called Turkru.

Can you share more about the Turkic legacy found in India? I heard they are mocked for being slaves or something?

I don't know about Turkic legacy. In our language, Turkic or not, the term Turkru applies to all Muslims. I can tell what I have observed about Muslims of my town. I don't know about Muslims of even other towns within this state.

Broader concept of Islam phobia aside. There is a certain reason why the term Turkru came about. Something to do with the Mughals.

Because plenty of other strains out there in India for the Muslim mix like from Yemen and Bahrain and Somalia.
