what term Amir Khusrau useful for India
Answers
Explanation:
Although AmÄ«r Khusrau included much autobiographical information in his writings, the details of his origins are not clear. His father was SaifuddÄ«n ShamsÄ«, who is said to have migrated from Central Asia, and was married to the daughter of ImÄ d al-Mulk, an Indian Muslim. Though the first and second-generation Turkish immigrants were generally an elite group who looked down on recently converted Indian Muslims, it appears that intermarriage did take place between the two communities. It is said, that Khusrau was proud of both sides of his lineage and his writings symbolise a synthesis of the two different cultures. Thus, he appropriately called himself an “Indian Turk”4 and; in India, the designation ‘Turk’ came to be synonymous with ‘Muslim’.
