In 2026, the 140th anniversary of Abdurauf Fitrat — a Jadid figure, writer, scholar and statesman born in 1886 in Bukhara — is widely celebrated. His contribution to the development of Uzbek linguistics, literary studies, drama and the ideas of national awakening is recognized as significant.
Otabek YusupovIn its «5 daqiqa» column, the outlet Kun.uz published an analysis of Abdurauf Fitrat's treatise «Hind sayyohining qissasi», published in Istanbul in 1912. Through the voice of a fictional Indian traveler, Fitrat criticizes Bukhara: gates closed to Muslims, the ignorance of the clergy, the arbitrariness of officials, the debt bondage of peasants, and the decline of craftsmanship — while at the same time offering a program of awakening.
