How “Muslim” are Central Asian Muslims? A Historical and Comparative Enquiry
Central Asian Affairs, 2017
The article analyzes the social, political, and symbolic functions of Islam in contemporary Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Turkmenistan, and Tajikistan.

This article aims to study the impact of Western modernity on the system of Islamic education in Central Asia’s mid-19th century. After a brief overview of the socio-political situation in Turkestan, it examines the traditions of Islamic learning in Turkestan before the establishment of the Soviet government. The paper then outlines how Muslim intellectuals in the Russian Empire appropriated the idea of modernity to critique the practice of Islam in their own communities. In this context, it will also look at the relationship between modern and traditional Islam in Turkestan. This paper concludes by asking what results ensued from Western modernization for the Central Asian peoples.
