The topic under scrutiny for this article is the qazaqlïq phenomenon in Central Asian nomadic societies. While a number of Turkologists and historians have provided
definitions of the terms qazaq and qazaqlïq, this paper will attempt to reconstruct the usage of the term by making use of diverse primary sources
of post-Mongol period. Temür (Tamerlane), Muḥammad Shībānī Khan, and Ẓahīr al-Dīn Muḥammad Babur, who founded the Timurid empire, Uzbek khanate, and Mughal empire, respectively,
all experienced periods of political vagabondage in their careers before coming to power. For the sake of political expedience, they had to separate themselves from their own
states, and wander with their followers through remote regions, not unlike wayfaring knights. As charismatic leaders, and having gathered a loyal band of warriors, they were
frequently able to rise to power. These prominent political figures belonging to the Chinggisid and Timurid lineages, inter alia, are referred to as qazaqs, and
their political vagabondage as qazaqlïq – the “qazaq way of life”.
