Most Indians are Hindu and the community forms the bulk of Hindus in Turkey. In recent times, there have been efforts to promote tourism and culture from India as a means of developing the community and establishing better relations with Turkish society.[2] There are also Hyderabadi Muslims students in Turkey[3] and Sikhs in Turkey.[4]
Marriages between Indian men and Turkish women are not uncommon.[5][6]
