Abstract

Ginān Literature The Shīʿa population in India is estimated at around forty million; most of them are followers of the Ithnā ʿAsharī and Ismāʿīlī schools. Even though the vast majority of the Shīʿīs in India belong to Ithnā ʿAshariyya, Ismāʿīlites stands out with its own organizational structure and belief systems, which have been affected by Indic elements. Ismāʿīlites in India, who are mostly represented by the Nizārī branch, are more commonly known as Khojas. Both historical documents and observations demonstrate that Ismāʿīlī Khojas have gained religious and political significance in this region. An attempt is made in this paper to depict the impact of Hindu doctrines and culture on the Ismāʿīlī Khojas by analyzing the emergence of Khojas and Ginān literature, which has been composed by pīrs in this process

Özet

Hindistan’da yaşayan yaklaşık kırk milyon Şīʿī nüfusun büyük çoğunluğunu İs̠nāʿaşeriyye ve İsmāʿīliyye oluşturmaktadır. İs̠nāʿaşeriyye’ye mensup olanların sayısı daha fazla olmakla birlikte İsmāʿīlīler de kendilerine özgü kurumsal yapı ve inançlarıyla dikkat çekmektedir. Hindistan’da İsmāʿīlī düşünceyi temsil eden ana damar Nizārīler olup bunlar bölgede daha çok Ḫōcalar olarak bilinmektedir. Tarihî veriler ve gözlemler, İsmāʿīlī Ḫōcaların Hint alt kıtasında dinî ve siyasî açıdan belli bir etkinlik kazandıklarını da ortaya koymaktadır. Makalede İsmāʿīlī Ḫōcaların tanınmasına katkı sunmak amacıyla söz konusu cemaatin ortaya çıkış süreci ve bu süreçte derlenen Ginān metinleri ele alınmıştır. Bu metinlerden hareketle İsmāʿīlī Ḫōcaların düşünce yapısını etkileyen Hint inanç ve kültürüne ait izler incelenmiş ve bunlar üzerinde bazı değerlendirmeler yapılmıştır
