THE IDEOLOGY AND POLITICAL VISION OF JADID INTELLECTUALS IN CENTRAL ASIA
Keywords:
Jadidism, political thought, ideology, reform, nationalism, autonomy, Central Asia, Russian colonialism.Abstract
This article explores the ideological foundations and political perspectives of the Jadid intellectual movement that emerged in Central Asia under Russian colonial rule in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. As reformist thinkers, the Jadids sought to modernize society through education, revive Islamic values in a rational framework, and promote national identity. While initially focused on cultural and pedagogical reform, many Jadids eventually adopted political positions calling for autonomy, constitutionalism, and national sovereignty. The article analyzes their evolving thought and its long-term impact on Central Asian identity, modernization, and political aspirations.Downloads
