JADIDIST MOVEMENT AND JADID PROTESTERS IN TURKESTAN

Abstract

Abstract: The Jadid movement is a socio-political and cultural movement 
that emerged in Turkestan in the late 19th and early 20th centuries and was 
promoted by reformist intellectuals. The Jadids aimed to raise the education and 
culture of the peoples of Turkestan, establish new schools of thought, develop a 
national press, and implement social reforms. Among them are such prominent 
figures as Mahmudkhodja Behbudiy, Abdurauf Fitrat, Munavvarqori 
Abdurashidkhanov, and Abdulla Avloniy, whose activities played a significant role 
in awakening public consciousness. This movement is historically significant for 
its fight against colonialism, national revival, and promotion of the ideas of 
enlightenment.
