Long before it became a byword for Central Asian trade, the oasis city of Kashgar was a crucible where Buddhism, Zoroastrianism, Manichaeism, and Nestorian Christianity rubbed shoulders. This episode traces Kashgar's transformation from a Buddhist kingdom under the Tang to a Muslim stronghold under the Kara-Khanid Khanate. We explore the conversion of Sultan Satuq Bughra Khan in the 10th century, the bloody siege of the Buddhist temple, and the role of the Karakhanids in spreading Islam across the Tarim Basin. Along the way, we meet the Persian historian Gardizi, the Arab geographer al-Muqaddasi, and the Turkic lexicographer Mahmud al-Kashgari, whose compendium preserves the city's polyglot character. We also revisit the Battle of Talas (751 CE) as a backdrop for the region's slow religious shift, and ask whether the 'Silk Road' was really a highway for faiths as much as goods. #Kashgar #SilkRoad #Karakhanids #SatuqBughraKhan #Islam #Buddhism #Manichaeism #TangDynasty #TarimBasin #MahmudalKashgari #Gardizi #alMuqaddasi #CentralAsia #ReligiousConversion #History #FexingoHistory #Podcast #SilkRoadEmpires Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
