The contributions of the Khorezm enlighteners to the development of our nation and homeland
Abstract:
Purpose: This study aims to explore the contributions of the Khorezm Jadids to the advancement of national independence, education, culture, and socio-political development in Uzbekistan, highlighting their pioneering role in modernizing schools, literature, and public consciousness during the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
Research methodology: The research employs a multidisciplinary approach, integrating historical-analytical, philosophical-comparative, and source-based methodologies. It examines archival records, press materials, memoirs, and scholarly literature to reconstruct the origins, activities, and influence of the Jadid movement within the sociopolitical and cultural landscape of Turkestan.
Results: The findings reveal that the Khorezm Jadids were instrumental in initiating democratic reforms, establishing modern educational institutions, and promoting national identity through journalism, theater, and literature. Despite resistance from conservative forces and colonial pressures, their efforts laid the groundwork for Uzbekistan’s modern enlightenment and independence movements, leaving a lasting legacy on the nation’s historical and cultural trajectory.
