On both sides of the river Forty, fifty rows Of riders crowded tightly, Leaving a strip in the center About a hundred large steps wide. A larger crowd gathered here Than black ants, As if it were not a race, But a grand and joyful feast. At the alaman-bayge races, For

The Prolonged Process of the Kyrgyz Transition from Nomadism to Agriculture

Land Conflicts Conflicts over land frequently occurred between the nomadic Kyrgyz and the settled population of Fergana. The quantitative growth of the settled population and the aspirations of the landowning nobility required the expansion of crops and the increase of arable land, which could only happen at the expense of the lands of the nomadic population, which itself began to transition to agriculture intensively from the mid-19th century. Land conflicts intertwined with the political

When Ildai-taishi moved to Bai, Abu-l-Khadi gave him a thousand horsemen. Ildai-taishi plundered the Aksu district and its cities. Sultan-Ahmed caught up with him and took back

Hanafi School as the Most Tolerant Direction Towards the Pagan Myths and Traditions of the Kyrgyz

Kyrgyz Ayil - an Obstacle on the Path of the Islamization of the People. As historical experience shows, the most freedom-loving peoples tend to fiercely and consistently preserve their national cultural traditions. This is done to avoid assimilation with other ethnic groups, especially in critical moments when the survival of the ethnic group as such is at stake. The Kyrgyz are no exception to this rule. It was the Kyrgyz ayil, with its age-old foundations and customs, that was the greatest

Chombars made from any other skin get wet even from rain, while in kiyika chombars, one can safely float on water without getting wet." After soaking in a saline
