mankurt

Etymology
From. Coined by the Kyrgyz author in his 1980 novel , in which people are turned into docile servants (mankurts) by exposing camel skin wrapped around their heads to the heat of the sun; the skins tighten as they dry, causing brain damage, such that the mankurts no longer recognize their name, family, or tribe—"a mankurt did not recognise himself as a human being".

Noun

 * 1)  A person with a lost or degraded cultural and ethnic identity or awareness about his ancestry, especially due to being affected by a dominant culture.
