The Role of Tashkent's Local Intellectuals in Socio-Political Processes of the Second Half of the 19th Century
Abstract
The intellectuals of Turkestan at the end of the 19th century played a pivotal role in shaping the region’s social and cultural processes, offering valuable insights into Uzbekistan's historical development. This study focuses on the prominent intellectuals of this period, with a particular emphasis on their activities in Tashkent, the administrative center of the region. Addressing a knowledge gap in the historiography of Uzbekistan, the research aims to identify these intellectuals and analyze their scholarly contributions. Utilizing historical analysis of primary and secondary sources, the study highlights the intellectuals' impact on the region’s socio-political and cultural transformations. The findings underscore the significance of their legacy in understanding the broader historical narrative of Turkestan and provide a foundation for further studies on intellectual movements in Central Asia.
