Notes
Although the Indian Peninsula had not historically been under Ottoman rule, the Muslims living in the region have had long-standing religious, historical, friendly, and emotional relationships with the Anatolian people. Throughout history, people in places such as Pakistan, Bangladesh, and Kashmir with their dense Muslim populations did not withhold their financial or moral support for the Anatolian people. They did not hesitate to support the Ottomans, whom they saw as the flag bearers of Islam, during either the Russo-Turkish war, known as 93 Harbı in Turkish, or the Gallipoli Campaign of 1915- 1916. They were most upset by the abolition of the caliphate and took a long time to accept this situation. Many scholars and poets from India wrote books defending the caliphate, as well as elegies for Abdul Hamid Han, the caliph of Muslims, and for the Ottomans. Some of these scholars and poets who lived in the late 19th and early 20th centuries were Faiz-ul Ḥasan al-Saharanpuri, Zulfiqar Ali al-Diyobendi, Wahiduddin Ali al-Hyderabadi, Adib Pishavari, Hamiduddin Farahi, and Anwar Shah al-Kashmiri and were born and raised on the Indian subcontinent. This study examines the poems of these six mentioned poets who defended the caliphate and the Ottomans, as well as their praises about Sultan Abdul Hamid Han.
