This arcticle about is Mahmudkhoja Behbudiy (1875–1919). He was a prominent reformist, educator, writer, and journalist in Turkestan. As a leading figure in the Jadid movement, he pioneered educational reforms, advocating for modernized schools that combined religious and secular subjects. He founded the newspaper "Oyna", which became a crucial platform for discussing political, social, and cultural issues. His literary contributions include "Padarkush", the first modern Uzbek play, which highlighted the dangers of ignorance and the need for education. His reformist ideas, however, led to conflicts with Russian colonial authorities and conservative religious leaders. Arrested and executed by the Emir of Bukhara in 1919, Behbudiy became a martyr for enlightenment and progress. His legacy continues to influence discussions on education, national identity, and modernization in Central Asia.
