From Morocco to India, GEORGIANS LOST IN THE FOREIGN LANDS, 17th-19th cc

Through cruel twists and turns of fate, from the fifteenth century onwards tens of thousands of Georgians found themselves in foreign lands. Some were abducted, some fell into captivity during wartime, and some were sold by their own Georgian princes. From Ottoman Turkey to the shores of Yemen, from the Atlas Mountains of Morocco to southern India, few were the regions where the Georgians were unheard of. Georgian slaves often even seized power for themselves. With very few exceptions, the fate of these

Georgians is enveloped in the mists of the past, and their names forgotten.
