Ashrafization Trends in India

Petikan artikel Arthur F Buehler, senior lecturer Victoria Uni NZ:

Muslim immigrants coming to India developed a more nuanced array of social distinctions than those that have existed in their native regions. Although Sayyids remained at the top of Indo-Muslims structure, there were three other high-status social groups of roughly equal status. There were Shaykhs, Mughals and Pathans.

Shaikhs are putative descendants of the Companion; Mughals are putative descendants of Turkic origin, and Pathans putative descendants of Afghan. In toto, these four social strata, with sayyids having the highest status, were named ashraf, the Indian Muslim social stratum of nobles, who claim to be foreign-born or descendants of non-South Asian Muslims.
