The group of Turkic people who are of Indo-Aryan descent are commonly known as the Indo-Turks or Indo-Turkic. They are sometimes categorised as Romanis, but this claim is largely false. Many Indo-Turks live in Turkey[1], Central Asia and Russia.

Indian Subcontinent edit
The ancestors of the Indo-Turkic people, are Turks who migrated to South Asia at the time of the Delhi Sultanate and intermarried with Indians. The Delhi Sultanate is a term used to cover five short-lived, Delhi-based kingdoms two of which were of Turkic origin in medieval India namely the Mamluk dynasty (Delhi) and the Turko-Indian Tughlaq dynasty. Southern India also saw Turkic origin dynasties like the Qutb Shahi dynasty. There is also a significant population of Indo-Turkic descendants known as Rowther, mostly found in Southern India.[2]
Ottoman Empire edit
Indian Sufis from Hindustan went to the ottoman Empire 14th century - 19th century and established there Sufi Lodges, there descendants still live in Turkey[3],[4].
They are also Indian nomads who went to Central Asia in the Middle Ages, where they intermingled with Turkmen, and settled finally in Anatolia Eyalet, the so-called Teber/Abdal of Turkey, some went to Rumelia Eyalet and Crimean Khanate.[5]
