Explanation

Yakut was an Abyssinian (Ethiopian) who rose to become a noble during Razia Sultan's reign as Delhi Sultan (1236-1240 CE). His origins are well-documented in historical accounts. Abyssinian refers to the region in present-day Ethiopia. Yakut was not Turk, South Indian Muslim, or Afghan by origin.
