THE ROLE OF THE JADID MOVEMENT IN THE MODERNIZATION OF UZBEK SOCIETY IN THE EARLY 20TH CENTURY
Main Article Content
Abstract
The Jadid movement emerged in the late 19th and early 20th centuries as a modernist reform initiative among Muslim intellectuals in Central Asia, particularly in what is now Uzbekistan. Rooted in educational and cultural reform, the movement aimed to modernize Muslim society through new methods of learning, civic engagement, and cultural revitalization. This paper explores the historical background, ideological foundations, and societal impact of the Jadid movement. Through a review of primary sources and scholarly interpretations, the study highlights the movement’s role in shaping national consciousness, educational reform, and early ideas of autonomy under Russian colonial rule.
