Yes. Sultan Babur and the "Mughals" are ethnic Turks. See below.
Indians are confusing things. The Turks that conquered India and Turkey came from Central Asia. Central Asia is ethnic Turk.
Incorrect. Sultan Babur and the "Mughals" are ethnic Turks.
(1) If Sultan Babur and "Mughals" are Mongols they would be Shia cos
Mongols are Shia. Sultan Babur and the "Mughals" are
Sunni, Hanafi, Maturidi, Nakshibandi same as ethnic Turks. (2) Turks do not like Mongols. If Sultan Babur and "Mughals" are Mongols,
Othmani Turk Sultan would not send crack Yenicheri soldiers to Sultan Babur for the conquest of India. (3) Baburname is in Turkish not Mongolian. (4) Sultan Babur spoke Turkish not Mongolian. (5) Urdu contains Turkish words not Mongolian. (6) "Mughals" educated their children in Turkish not Mongolian.
Turks are in Indian subcontinent even before Turk Sultan Babur:
(7) Sultan Mahmud Ghaznavi is ethnic Turk. Not Afghan. Ghaznavis ruled Afghanistan and Pakistan. Turk Sultan Mahmud Ghaznavi started the conquest of India. (8) Seljuks are ethnic Turks.
Not Persian.
Not Persianate. Seljuk Turks replaced Ghaznavi Turks in Afghanistan and Pakistan. (9)
Mamluk Turks established one state in Delhi, India and one in Cairo, Egypt. Mamluk Turks descend from Abbasids. (10) Turks established the Abbasids with a Qurayshi Arab as Khalifa.
Abbasids are officially Sunni Hanafi same as Turks. Abbasids ruled Pakistan and Afghanistan.
Other things to keep in mind:
(11) There are 40 million ethnic Turks in Iran alone. (12) No ethnic Pers has ruled Persia for 1350 years since the Sassanids until a coup by
Reza Khan in 1921.
Reza Khan also known as Reza Shah Pahlavi. An ethnic Pers using a Turkish name
Khan.
If India is ruled by sunni Indians then you would have a point. It isnt.
Turkey choosing India over Pakistan and Bangladesh will never ever happen.
Turk custom and Sunni custom is: kavim/qawm (ethnic identity) is determined by the
father. Turk man & all his male descendants in many generations marry foreign girls but all the children are Turks. e.g. Othmani Turk Sultans mothers are foreign but fathers are Turks.
Turk is prohibited to marry a Hindu (or other religions). For a Turk to marry her, she has to revert to Sunni.
Persians. Answered.
If Turks in Indian disappered: Urdu would be extinct. There would be no mass migration from India to Pakistan and Bangladesh cos of partition. Similar thing occured with Turks migration from Europe to Turkey as Othmani Turks lost territory.
Ethnic Turks of Kashmir.

Indian Turks. There is the Turk name
Mughal but they forgot the Turk name
Khan (though theres an "etc." there). At least one is named
Khan.

In Pakistan. Pakistan and Turkey: One Nation. Two States. There is 1300+ year history. Not an empty slogan.

Bonus pic. The black man and the white-ish man are both Turks. The black man is more Turk than the white-ish man. The black man is a direct descendant of an Othmani Sultan. A descendant of an Othmani Sultan also means he is a Sharif or Sayyid. When the Othmani State is re-established Turks could have a black Sultan ruling them. Ethnic Turk is based on paternal lineage. Not physical apperance.

Why the hyperventilation. Why get ur knickers in a twist.
The person least qualified to talk on ethnic Turks in India: someone who dont know that Erdogan *is* the Turkish government, that Turks continuously vote him into office, that since Erdogan there are continuous calls for NATO to kick out Turkey and Turkish & Israeli relations are extremely hostile.
Thank you for the compliment.
