Hoca Sefer
Hoca Sefer was a captain, who was in charge of pro-Ottoman forces in Gujarat in the first half of the 15th century.[1]
Hoca Sefer, who had been installed by the Ottoman captain Selman Reis, attempted to maintain Ottoman influence in Diu against the Portuguese, who had established the Diu Fort there.[1]
The conflict between the Ottomans and the Portuguese would escalate with the Siege of Diu in 1538, following the request for Ottoman intervention by Sultan Bahadur of Gujarat in 1536.[1]
