Khoja Literature

Khoja literature refers to the body of written and oral works created by the Khoja community, a group of mainly Gujarati-speaking Muslims with roots in Central Asia and India. It encompasses poetry, stories, religious texts, and historical writings that reflect their cultural identity, history, and spiritual beliefs. This literature often blends Islamic teachings with local traditions and language, serving to preserve their unique heritage and values. Through these works, the Khoja community expresses their religious devotion, social values, and historical experiences, contributing significantly to their cultural continuity and understanding of their identity.
