Dynasty in Exile

Dynasty in Exile Book Description "I feel bad thinking about how we were expelled from this country one night without even taking our laundry. A person can even fire his maid and let her take her belongings. Did a 600-year-old family have no right in this country? The girls and women of the Ottoman dynasty were forced to leave the European countries they were expelled to as strangers to them." "They suffered and suffered from hunger in their cities, but they never sacrificed their honor." Emine Nemîka Sultan, the daughter of Prince Selim Efendi, opened a new page in Turkish-Islamic history on March 3, 1924. The caliphate, the oldest institution of Muslims, was abolished; Additionally, approximately 200 members of the Ottoman family, one of the longest-lived dynasties in history, were stripped of their citizenship and exiled from their homeland. This was the beginning of a troubled life for everyone, from the elderly to the baby in the cradle. Almost all of them lived in exile, stateless and without a passport. Many of these people, who had no money in banks, no cash with them, and no relatives abroad, suffered indescribable pain. Those who beg because they cannot find money for medicine; The subject is those who live on a bowl of soup brought by their neighbors; those who died of hunger; those who committed suicide due to poverty; those who have lost their minds; There were people buried in the homeless cemetery. But they always tried to live in accordance with their nobility and honor. Thus, the Ottoman family, one of the oldest dynasties in history, withdrew from the political scene. In 1952, the wives of the dynasty, and in 1974, the men were given permission to return to their homeland. However, after most of the people who built a life abroad, for better or worse, no longer had the opportunity or possibility of returning...
