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 Tughlaq dynasty. Other Turkic dynasties which ruled in the subcontinent include Ghaznavids. 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.^[1]

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.^[2]
