hi guys,

I am Ahmed Turki from Anantnag city of Kashmir. so you can say that I am a pure Kashmiri lol. I have to start this thread because I have no idea of my origins. as you can see my surname is Turki. according to my Hindu Friends Turki is a Kashmiri Pandit surname used by Pandits who were employed by Turkish kings. hence my username brahminzada. (I identify as a revert because pandits are considered reverts in kahsmir)

while according to my family legend we are descended from a small Turkish Community of mostly merchants and some soldiers who migrated to Kashmir valley for better life between 13th to 16th century. sadly we are not from single Turkish tribe but we migrated from all kind of Turkish tribes, so we chose to identify as Turki collectively. Mughals are different from us who migrated during Mughal reign on india.

are there any Muslims with turki Surname in Pakistan or Bangladesh ? what is your biradri ? I just want to know my origins guys, I have no problem with sudra or Brahmin origins or Turki origin, I am a muslim and that's my identity. :)

Well I had a colleague named Turk few years back. Frankly I believe that most of people with middle eastern surnames are actually people from this land coz we do not see any mass migration in past. If we look at the amount of Siddiquis, Qureshis from UP area of India, this can either be result of a massive migration or they are actually local people trying to be wannabes.

Some what agreed brother. But according to my communty only few merchants and warriors migrated from central asia to kashmir. Please do note that kashmir is central asia as well.

By the way i was talking about sirname Turki , not name. :)

I've requested you earlier.

Please do not talk to me.

I was wrong about you, though not your Marathi friend.

Cheers, Doc

You fucked up with the username. And then the flag. The -zada gave it away instantly. I expected better from you.
