Ottoman Empire[edit | edit source]
Some Muslim Roma families in Istanbul who deny their Roma origins claim to be the descendants of Indian Muslim men who served at the medical team of the Red Crescent Society of India, led by Mukhtar Ahmed Ansari and Abdur Rahman Peshawari, to care wounded Ottoman soldiers during the Balkan War (1912-13).[3] After the war, few of the Muslim Indian men from the medical team, didnt returned to India, but stayed in Istanbul and married Turkish women who were widows, whose descendants then married later each other and therefore they had the brown skin color, they call themselves Hintli[4]
