Jadid

The Jadids (جديد "new" in Arabic) were Muslim reformers within the Russian Empire in the late 19th century (1880s). They normally referred to themselves by the Turkic terms Taraqqiparvarlar (progressives) or simply Yäşlär/Yoshlar (youth). Although their beliefs were manifold, one of their principal aims was the introduction of the usul ul-jadid or "new method" of teaching in the maktabs of the empire, hence the term Jadidism normally used to describe their programme. Some of the changes thus initiated, such as the introduction of benches, desks, blackboards and maps into classrooms, were perhaps merely cosmetic; others, such as the use of textbooks printed in Cairo , Kazan or Istanbul , were rather more substantial. Originating with the Tatars of the Volga and Crimea , among whom it was popularized by such thinkers as Volga Tatars Ghabdennasir Qursawi and Musa Bigiev , it later spread to Central Asia , in particular the cities of Bukhara and Kokand . A leading figure was the Crimean Tatar İsmail Gaspıralı (Gasprinskiy), whose newspaper Tercüman (Interpreter) was a major organ of Jadid opinion, together with the Azeri satirical journal Mollah Nasreddin . The Jadids were treated with suspicion by the Russian government, which disliked their connections with similar Muslim reform movements in the Ottoman Empire and British India , and suspected them of having Pan-Turkic and Pan-Islamic aims. The Jadids had many opponents amongst the ulama as well, normally known as Qadimists or devotees of the old. However the beliefs of so-called Qadimist thinkers have often been stereotyped and distorted, and their beliefs and aims were often not very different from those of the Jadids, who normally came from similar backgrounds and also counted many of the ulama in their ranks.

The Jadids were Muslim modernist reformers within the Russian Empire in the late 19th and early 20th century. They normally referred to themselves by the Turkic terms Taraqqiparvarlar ('progressives'), Ziyalilar ('intellectuals'), or simply Yäşlär/Yoshlar ('youth'). Jadids maintained that Muslims in the Russian Empire had entered a period of decay that could only be rectified by the acquisition of a new kind of knowledge and modernist, European-modeled cultural reform. Although there were substantial ideological differences within the movement, Jadids were marked by their widespread use of print media in promoting their messages and advocacy of the usul ul-jadid or "new method" of teaching in the maktabs of the empire, from which the term Jadidism is derived. A leading figure in the efforts to reform education was the Crimean Tatar Ismail Gasprinski who lived from 1851–1914. Intellectuals such as Mahmud Khoja (author of the famous play "The Patricide" and founder of one of Turkestan's first Jadid schools) carried Gaspirali's ideas back to Central Asia.
