The statement of D’Ohsson is the most astonishing, and totally incorrect: “Lastly, D’Ohsson, in his remarkable history of the Mongols, treats the Mongols and Tatars as distinct races, but does not admit the theory \[!\] of the Turkish origin.” The writer continues: “The same uncertainty that hangs over the Moninfidel Mughals, and not a trace of the Muhammadan Mongol and Tatar hordes of the fourteenth century, prevails with regard to the people who, under the name of Tatars, now dwell in the southern part of the Russian empire; and they have been considered sometimes as descendants of the Turkish tribes that occupied those regions previously to the twelfth century, sometimes as remnants of the conquering Mongol Tatars. - [Previous: 248.2.5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.248.2.5) - [Next: 248.2.7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.248.2.7) - [Up: 248.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.248.2) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.248.2.6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.248.2.6) · Pramāṇa
