Purpose: The purpose of this study is to analyze the socio-political views of Mirza Sirodjiddin Hakim Bukhari, a key figure in the Jadid movement, through his seminal work Tuhafi Ahli Bukhara (Gifts to the People of Bukhara), and to explore how his writings reflect broader themes of reform, modern education, and cultural revitalization in early 20th-century Central Asia.

Research methodology: This study employs qualitative content analysis of Tuhafi Ahli Bukhara, examining its historical context and the author's narrative strategies. The research also considers relevant secondary sources to understand the ideological, cultural, and political messages embedded in the work, particularly regarding modernization and East-West comparisons.

Results: The analysis reveals that Mirza Sirodj advocated for embracing scientific knowledge, educational reform, and social justice while critiquing religious dogmatism and cultural stagnation. His work served as both a travel account and a strategic appeal for modernization, directed particularly at the young Emir of Bukhara. It offers a progressive vision rooted in Islamic enlightenment and highlights the transformative aspirations of the Jadid movement.
