Social Life of The Population of The Bukhara Khanate Until The Mid-17th Century: Protest Movements

Abstract

This article analyzes the social life of the population of the Bukhara Khanate up to the mid-17th century and the protest movements that emerged during this period. Political instability, heavy tax burdens, and the oppressive policies of rulers led to growing dissatisfaction among the population, resulting in numerous uprisings. In particular, the revolts in the cities of Balkh and Tashkent illustrate the harsh nature of the ruling elite's governance. Additionally, the article examines socio-political events during the reigns of Imamqulixon and Nadr Muhammadxon, detailing the destruction of cities and the deterioration of living conditions based on historical sources.
