Loved Ertugrul? Here are 5 more historic dramas that you can watch!

Breaking all the records of traditional drama shows, Dirilis Ertugrul has set new standards for the historic genre, which also countered the popular Islamaphobic portrayal of Muslims in mainstream entertainment.
We all started with Ertugrul’s journey of finding a homeland for his tribe to achieving great feats in defending his people from the Mongol invasion led by “Noyan” and establishing justice and the divine order in new lands which only saw persecution and oppression earlier.
Ertugrul’s famous call for “Justice until the end, Liberty until the end” and his promise when he said, “I will secure justice and spread fear to the persecutors” sparked our emotions with righteousness and Ibn Arabi’s preachings inspired us to achieve whatever we want when he said, “You should talk about your dreams, not your troubles, son.” After watching Ertugrul, if you are obsessed with the historic genre of dramas, we have compiled a list of such five more historic shows/movie suggestions for you.
1. Payitaht: Abdul Hamid This show showcases all the important events that marked the last 13 years of the reign of Sultan Abdulhamid, including the Greek War which resulted in the victory of the Ottoman empire. The show also covers the contributions of Indians in building the great Hijaz railway when the Sultan needed money after having his resources drained because of successive wars.
It was poor Indians who sent over their ancestral jewellery and money collected from various parts of India. The show also depicted how the Sultan helped Indians fight against the Britishers by providing Indian revolutionaries with weapons, intel, maps/locations, and the great Ottoman Flag of the Caliphate which Indians waved at the British army base after defeating them.
