Annotation: During the Soviet period, the struggle to the freedom of the Central Asians people, especially the Uzbek people, were deliberately falsified under the pressure of communist ideology. From this point of view, djadids’ were activists who were supporters of the movement, which was an important impetus for the growth of national self-consciousness and formed the idea of national liberation and tried to implement it in their activities. Proponents of this movement have proposed ideas, which were based on global and national democratic principles and worked on the needs of the modern society and the spiritual, educational, and socio-economic interests of the indigenous population. Jadidism is a peculiar sect that has come a long way from the enlightenment to the powerful political movement. The aim of the jadids’ was to address fundamental issues such as increasing national self-awareness, the way of living and enriching human values in response to the exploitation of economic, natural and labor resources of the country, social and national oppression of the Turkestan indigenous population.
