History of Naiman: Actually Naiman was not the name of a single person in history, but it was the name of a whole tribe. The Naiman were a medieval tribe that originated in the region of modern western Mongolia (probably during the time of the Uighur dynasty), and are one of the tribes of the modern Mongols. And in the midst of the Kazakh people. In the Secret History of the Mongols, the Naiman sub-tribe “Gochgud” is mentioned. According to Russian Turkologist Nikolai Aristotle, Naiman Khan’s western border reached the Artash River and its eastern border reached the Tamir River in Mongolia. The Altai Mountains and South Altai were part of the Naiman Khan Republic. They had diplomatic relations with Kara-Kitan, and were subject to them until 1175. In Russian and Soviet historiography of Central Asia, they were traditionally included among the Mongol-speaking tribes. For example, Russian orientalists such as Vasily Bartold, Grigory Potinan, Boris Vladimirtsov, Ilyas Petroshevsky, Nicholas Pope, Leo Gumilev, Vadam Trepaulov classified them as one of the Mongol tribes. Other scholars have classified them as the Turkic people of Sekiz Oguz (meaning “eight oguz” in Turkish). However, the term “Naiman” is of Mongolian origin meaning “eight”, but their titles are Turkic, and some believe they are possibly Mongol-Turkic. They are described as Turkic speaking as well as Mongolian speaking. Like the Caitans and Uyghurs, many of them were Nestorian Christians or Buddhists. The Naimans were located to the west of the Mongols, and in the late 12th century there were more Naimans than Mongols. In 1199, Temujin (Genghis Khan) along with an ally Ong Khan launched a campaign against the Naimans. In 1203 the last Taiyang Khan, ruler of Naiman of the Maidan, was killed after a battle with Genghis Khan. His son Kuchlug, along with the rest of his Naiman soldiers, then fled to the black slaughter house. Kuchlug was well received there and Khutna Khan gave him in marriage to his daughter. Kochlog soon began plotting against his new father-in-law, and after usurping the throne, he began persecuting the Muslims in the oases of Hami. But his action was opposed by the local people and later he was defeated by the Mongols under Jebi. Although the Naiman Khanleg was crushed by the Mongols, they were seen in every part of the Mongol Empire. The Great Lady (“Queen”) of the Ogedi, Turgeon, may be from this tribe. Holigo had a Naiman general, Katbuka, who was killed in the Battle of Ain Jalut in 1260. After the fall of the Yuan dynasty, the Numan eventually merged with the Mongol, Tatar, and Kazakh tribes. Modern Kazakh historians claim that there are more than 2 million Naimans in the Kazakh population. They originated from East Kazakhstan. Some Naiman split off from the Kyrgyz and Uzbek ethnic groups and are still found among them. Now, the Naimans are one of the major tribes of the modern Kazakh people, they belong to the central Joz of Kazakhstan, mainly live in the eastern, central and southern parts of Kazakhstan, there are about one million Kazakhs in Kazakhstan. They are also present in China, Uzbekistan, and Russia with substantial Kazakh populations, the Naiman tribe of Kazakhs in China has a population of 700,000 or more, mostly in the western part of the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region of China, the Ely Kazakh Autonomous Okrug. Live in the province. Naimans are also one of the major clans among Kazakhs in Uzbekistan, they are also present among Kazakhs in Kyrgyzstan and Russia. Religion of the Naimans: The main religion of the Naimans was Shamanism and Nestorian Christianity. The Nestorians, who adopted Nestorianism, probably converted at the same time that the Kerites adopted the religion in the 11th century. He was among the second wave of Christians who entered China with Kublai Khan after the Mongol conquest. Some Nestorian Naimans fled to Karakhatai during the Mongol conquests where some converted to Buddhism. The commander of the Mongol army that invaded Syria in 1259, Katbuka, was a Naiman: it is recorded that he “loved and respected the Christians, because he was descended from the three kings of the Orient. who had come to Bethlehem to love the birth of our Lord.” However, Katbuka was killed and his army decisively defeated in the Battle of Ain Jalut, ensuring Muslim dominance of the Levant. Soon after the end of the Yuan Dynasty, Nestorianism declined and disappeared among the Naiman. Mongol Naimans converted to Tibetan Buddhism in the 16th century. Naaman assimilated with other ethnic groups living in Eurasia and adopted the religion and culture of the dominant group. The Numans who settled in the western khans of the Mongol Empire finally accepted Islam. Hassan Awan ✍🏻 #ottomanaestheticposting #ApprovePlz
