Muslim refugee groups
Several Muslim refugee groups have been referred to as Muhajir or Mohajirs over the centuries.
Muhammad and his companions escaped from Mecca to Madina
Muhajir Khwarezm, the Muslim refugees that escaped Genghiz Khan's Mongol invasion of Muslim lands in 13th century and they settled in other Muslim lands not touched by this calamity. Maulana Jalaluddin Rumi fled Afghanistan and settled in Anatolia to escape the Mongol army.
Muhajir Crimean, the Muslim refugees of Crimean ancestry that settled in Ottoman Empire after the Russian Empire conquered Muslim Crimean Khanate.
MuhajirCaucasian are the Muslim refugees of Caucasian ancestry that settled in Ottoman Empire after the Russian Empire conquered Muslim regions in Caucasia.
Muhajir Balkan are the Muslims of Balkan ancestry that settled in Turkey after the collapse of Ottoman Empire.
Muhajir Afghan are the Muslim refugees from Afghanistan that escaped the Soviet occupation in 1979 and later the Taliban atrocities.
Tired of the traditional Muhajir stand which has usually revolved around fundamentalist support for a strong center and army and staunch opposition to India, many saw the MQM as a means of solving local issues that had been ignored by previous governments.
The Muhajir case illustrates the often paradoxical and imagined nature of socio-political identities, and casts light on the importance of contingency and historicity in the understanding of ethnic politics and emergent nationalisms.
For Muhajirs of all classes the state is increasingly viewed as a corrupt and repressive institution representing the interests of a Punjabi-dominated army and a Punjabi-Sindhi feudal elite.
