Representatives of the Jadid movement and their work
By the early 20th century a whole generation of Jadid intellectuals had grown up in Turkestan: in Samarkand Behbudiy, Shakuriy and Ajziy; in Tashkent Munavvarqori Abdurashidkhonov, Avloniy and Ubaydullakhoja Asadullakhojayev; in Bukhara Fitrat, Sadriddin Ayniy and Fayzulla Khojayev; in the Fergana Valley Hamza, Ibrat, Cholpon and others; in Khiva Bobookhun Salimov. Mahmudkhoja Behbudiy (1875–1919) was born on 19 January 1875 in Bakhshitepa near Samarkand, studied in the madrasas of Samarkand and Bukhara, rose to qozi and mufti, and is called the “father of the Jadids of Central Asia”; on his initiative the “Behbudiya library” was opened. Munavvarqori (1878–1931) opened Jadid schools, published newspapers and journals and wrote the textbooks “Adibi avval”, “Adibi soniy” and “Yer yuzi”. Abdulla Avloniy (born in Tashkent in 1878) founded the newspaper “Shuhrat” in 1907 and created the textbooks “Birinchi muallim”, “Ikkinchi muallim” and “Turkiy guliston yoxud axloq”. According to the textbook, the Jadids opposed the absolute rule of the tsar, defended political freedom and human rights, and drew on the heritage of Navoi, Bedil and Mashrab. Mirkomil Mirmominboyev of Andijan provided funds for youths studying abroad. In 1910 the “Tarbiyai atfol” society was formed in Bukhara and in 1911 it sent 15 students and in 1912 30 students to study in Turkey.
