What they tell you:

Janissari ialah kumpulan tentera infantri elit dalam sistem ketenteraan kerajaan Uthmaniyah. Kumpulan kanak-kanak yang diambil melalui sistem devshirme tidak semua akan menjadi pentadbir. Sebahagian daripada kumpulan tersebut akan diserapkan ke dalam sistem ketenteraan Uthmaniyah. Sebelum diserapkan ke dalam kumpulan Janissari, kanak-kanak tersebut akan diberi latihan fizikal dan ketenteraan terutamanya selok-belok dan taktik serta teknik peperangan.

What they do not tell you:

Devshirme was the practice by which the Ottoman Empire (kerajaan Uthmaniyah to you and me) conscripted (compelled to military service) boys from Christian families, who were taken from their families by force, converted to Islam, trained and enrolled in one of four imperial institutions: the Palace, the Scribes, the Religious and the Military. The devshirme system humiliated non-Muslim societies controlled by the Ottomans and was resisted.
