Turkistan Jaditians

The Jaditism movement emerged in the early 19th century as a wake-up period in the fields of religion, language, education, and politics, as a reaction against the ancients. This awakening is also known as "Usul-ı Cedit" and "Ceditçilik". Although the roots of jaditism go back to the past, it began to be heard practically for the first time with the opening of the "Usul-ı Savtiye", or "Usul-ı Cedit" school, opened by İsmail Bey Gaspıralı in Kırım Bahçesaray, and in a very short time spread to all of Turkistan.

"O my partners and boys who are interested in Turkistan education affairs! Even though I was in prison myself, I did not forget you and wanted to write a will for you. My partners who love me! Listen to my words! We have been in custody in the city of Bukhara for two months and have been imprisoned in an uncertain place for the last ten days. We were accused of being an unbeliever. It was decided that we should be kept in this place. My partners Sıddîkî, Aynî, Fıtrat, Kârî and Akabir Mahdum! My sons Vedud Mahmud and Abdulkadir Şekuri! I bequeath to you. ! Do not leave the children of Turkestan without knowledge! Whatever you do, do with the society! Show everyone the way to freedom! Start a road in the land of Bukhara as soon as possible! Reveal freedom as soon as possible! Ask the cruel gentlemen! Spread our blood in the lands of Maarifi Bukhara! Open schools in our name! Then we lie comfortably in our graves. Say hi to my people. Be aware of the children of these fellow travelers! "
