Most Indians are Hindu and the community forms the bulk of Hindus in Turkey. In recent times, there have been efforts to promote tourism and culture from India as a means of developing the community and establishing better relations with Turkish society.[2]. There are also Hyderabadi Muslims students in Turkey[3] and Sikhs in Turkey[4].
Marriages between indian men and turkish women are not uncommon[5], [6]
