The Sultans of the Levant and DelhiThere is a difference between the character of those Islamic movements that acquired power in the Levant and those that acquired power in the Indian subcontinent during the Middle Ages.

A large-scale migration of Turks and other nomadic tribes from the steppes radically transformed the ethnicity and culture of the Levant, but that kind of migration did not happen in India.
