Kashgar had an old tradition of discrimination against Shias. Most foreign slaves in Kashgar (modern Xinjiang) were Shias Tajiks of China. They were referred to by Sunni Turkic Muslims as Ghalcha, and enslaved because they were different from the Sunni Turkic inhabitants. [1] Shia Muslims were sold as slaves in Khotan region too. The Sunni Muslims of Kashgar traded Shias as slaves. [2] When Mirza Haider Dughlat got hold of Kashmir, he too persecuted Shias in Kashmir. In his book, Tarikh-i-Rashidi, He writes:
"Many of the people of Kashmir who were strongly attached to this apostasy, I brought back, whether they would or no, to the true faith, and many I slew. A number took refuge in Sufism but they are not true Sufis, having nothing but the name." [3]
Ok :) you can remove the Kasghar part. Dr. Hamza Ebrahim ( talk) 19:29, 2 March 2021 (UTC)
