ENLIGHTENMENT IDEAS IN THE WORKS OF MIRZO SIROJIDDIN HAKIM

At the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century, the Jadid movement emerged in Turkestan and Bukhara as a national enlightenment movement. The main purpose of this movement was to free the people from ignorance, spread modern knowledge, establish new-method schools, and lead society toward progress. Among such enlightened intellectuals, Mirzo Sirojiddin Hakim occupies a special place. Through his works, articles, and travel notes, he promoted science and enlightenment and called people toward awakening.
