    At the same time, Seljuk Bey, the founder of the Seljuk Empire, was a commander affiliated with the Khazars. He was probably a Jew, then he became a Muslim and founded the Seljuk state. How strange. Additionally, the Oghuz Turks, the ancestors of today's anatolians Turks, were also affiliated with the Khazar Khaganate. The reason the Khazars became such a powerful state in a short time was that most of the rulers were Turks involved in trade. That's why there were many mercenary units among the Khazars. Today, there are Jewish Turks in Crimea. During the Ottoman period, they earned money by trading slaves. I don't know if they have any connection with the Khazars.

      According to Constantine Porphyrogenitus, there was a strong connection between Turks and Khazars. He says: the nation of the Turks had of old their dwelling next to Chazaria...at that time they were not called Turks, but Sabartoi asphaloi. They lived together with the Chazars for three years and fought in alliance with the Chazars in all their wars. Their first voivode called Lebedias married a noble Chazar lady but had no children...Then the Pechenegs came and drove out the Turks. Most of them settled in the east, in the regions of Persia.

Same applies for the Armenian and Georgian sources. They autonomously sprang out when the Western Turks were troubled by civil wars. Arab sources (7th - 8th c.) use both Khazar and Turk. Al-Mas'udi however mentions that the Khazars are amongst the Ughuz, the Karluks, the Kimek. Some Chinese sources and Theophanes of Byzantium equate Khazars with Turks. 💪💪

Qasim conquered Panjab for no reason at all. Caliph Suleiman basically killed all the conquerors from all fronts(Spain,India,central Asia,Iraq) within a year to erase his older brother's glory and thus he destroyed the expansion of the Caliphate

    Khazar, member of a confederation of Turkic-speaking tribes that in the late 6th century CE established a major commercial empire covering the southeastern section of modern European Russia. Although the origin of the term Khazar and the early history of the Khazar people are obscure, it is fairly certain that the Khazars were originally located in the northern Caucasus region and were part of the western Turkic empire (in Turkistan). The Khazars were in contact with the Persians in the mid-6th century CE, and they aided the Byzantine emperor Heraclius (reigned 610-641) in his campaign against the Persians. Britannica

  • @soumyadiptamajumder8795

    The Khazars were not a tribe descending from someone else, but a political union from the tribes of the old Turkish or Gokturk Khaganate (the first Turk state, which was again not bound by blood ties - all subjects to the Khagan were Turks, regardless of origin, and they kept the designation after the great khaganate from the Black Sea to the Pacific collapsed) politically powerful in the Volga-Itil steppe.
    The closest thing to a ‘blood origin’ would be the ruling dynasty, which presumably was of the Ashina clan that had once ruled the Gokturk khaganate - the Ashinas were descended from one Ashina or Asen, who was a minor tribal leader in what is now Mongolia, himself of unknown stock (the ethnic composition of the region then was not what it is now). But there are latter records of the Khazar Khaganate becoming an elective position with a 40-year term, so it’s unclear whether the Khazars were ruled by the Ashinas up to a point, or if the elections were held among Ashina scions (which is not confirmed in the source, which claims the Turks elected the ‘most virtuous’ to be Khagan).
    As regards the Khazar people, they included pretty much every ethnicity that could be found in the Steppe - Turkics, Ugric-Uralic peoples, proto-Mongols, Iranics. In fact it was this easy-to-assimilate society which permitted the (probably Greek) Jews, driven out from the Roman lands, to intermarry, assimilate and then convert the entire Khaganate to Judaism (one may guess, via the election of an assimilated Turko-Judaic Khagan?).

Their original dialects were altered with Kipchak possibly in times of Crimean Khanate. Their version of Judaism is also different from other Jewish groups.
