Summarize this article for a 10 year old
Turkic peoples (including the Turks of Turkey) have historically been associated as one of the non-indigenous peoples to have ruled areas of India and the Indian subcontinent. Although modern day Turks in India are very small in number, and are likely recent immigrants from Turkey. In the 1961 census, 58 people stated that their mother tongue was Turkish.[1] According to the 2001 census, 126 residents of India stated their place of birth as Turkey.[2] In a state visit during early 2010, Prime Minister Abdullah Gül of Turkey met Turkish expatriates living in India and handed out Hindi-Turkish dictionaries to Turkish students in New Delhi.[3]
