Ghilman (Arabic: غلمان ) (singular ghulam (Arabic: غلام ) describes either young servants in paradise or slave-soldiers in the Ottoman, Mughal and Persian Empires. The ghilman are also credited with producing a strongly homosexual sub-culture which left literary traces in Persian poetry. Chroniclers also give accounts of the political connotations of their relationships, for example the ghulam Fatik who briefly governed Aleppo for the Fatimids, was murdered by his ghulam lover while he slept and the Buyid prince Bakhtiyar's infatuation with a ghulam is given as one of the reasons as why he lost his throne and his life.
