  • Symbiosis of Civilizations As an Important Factor in the Formation and Development of Scientific Thinking in Uzbekistan
    SYMBIOSIS OF CIVILIZATIONS AS AN IMPORTANT FACTOR IN THE FORMATION AND DEVELOPMENT OF SCIENTIFIC THINKING IN UZBEKISTAN Sharipov Shavkat Safarovich - Rector of Jizzakh State Pedagogical Institute, Doctor of Pedagogical Sciences, Professor, Uzbekistan [email protected] Ismatullaev Farhodjon Odiljonovich - Tashkent State Pedagogical University 07.00.01 – Candidate for the Doctorate of History of Uzbekistan, Candidate of Historical Sciences, Associate Professor, Uzbekistan [email protected] Abstract: The current article discusses the impact of different civilizations on the development of scientific knowledge in the region of Uzbekistan and the high civilizations formed in the ancient regions of Central Asia. In particular, it analyzes the advanced science and cultures and harmonious combination of different civilizations that have gradually formed over the centuries as a result of various political, trade, economic, cultural and humanitarian cooperation in Uzbekistan. Keywords: Culture, symbiosis, civilization, Renaissance, Greco-Roman culture, urban planning, analytics, encyclopedia, philosophy, Islamic culture. INTRODUCTION. The consistent development of universal scientific thought is inextricably linked with the emergence and interdependence of historically different civilizations, which can be seen as a symbiosis of interactions 1 between them. In this regard, we see that the formation of the Great Silk Road and other external factors have played an important role in the development of scientific thinking in Uzbekistan. Scientific thinking is a historically stable system of generally accepted methodological standards and philosophical principles that emerges as a specific type of scientific interpretation of reality. Considering the formation of scientific thinking through the prism of the concept of “symbiosis of civilization” allows us to classify the similarities and differences of historically formed forms of thinking, as well as to analyze and predict the direction of its development.

    IJMRT • Volume 12 • Number 2 • July-December 2018: 145-153 CULINARY TOURISM IN AWADH REGION OF UTTAR PRADESH Manish Rai* and Anupama Srivastava** Abstract: Tourism is regarded as a positive force for the preservation of nature and culture. Heritage Tourism is regarded as a conceptual and operative basis that allows for a sustainable use of heritage assets. Heritage has been conceived as the identifying set of natural and cultural assets of a society with great potential for local tourist development. The concept of sustainability is based on three main goals: social, economic and ecological. Heritage tourism is a way of development intended to improve the quality of life of host communities and preservation of the environment. Heritage tourism has the potential to improve the economic vitality of numerous communities. The primary benefit of heritage tourism is its long-term economic value with high sustainable growth rates. It generates investment in the development of heritage product, complements and engages other tourism product, rejuvenates communities. It provides considerable non-economic benefits such as promoting, protecting and sustaining the heritage base; addressing traditions and values which define nations and communities; recognizing multicultural legacies linking nations; engaging local and regional governments; and furthering important educational functions. INTRODUCTION Culture and tourism have a mutually beneficial relationship which can strengthen the attractiveness and competitiveness of tourism destinations. Culture is increasingly an important element of the tourism product, which creates distinctiveness. The tourism provides an important means of enhancing culture and creating income which can support and strengthen cultural heritage, cultural production and creativity. Creating a strong relationship between tourism and culture can therefore help tourism destinations to become more attractive as well as more competitive (OCED, 2009).

I have been concerned to study the responses of Indian sufism to the growth of the colonial state, which established new forms of knowledge and new forms of order, and to the emergence of Muslim movements of revival and reform, which saw, and still see, sufism as inimical to the capacity of Muslims to sustain an Islamic society. It is a context more hostile for sufism than ever experienced before. I have approached the problem by examining the responses of three working spiritual traditions in nineteenth and twentieth century India.

  • Moving Forward from Shab-E-Barat to Ramadan for All Muslims
    -Bismillah-ir Rahman-ir Rahim- Moving Forward from Shab-e-Barat1 to Ramadan for All Muslims The topic of Shab-e-Barat has been so badly distorted by some persons, that a positive clarification is essential. At the outset, both the Holy Qur’an and the six Sahih Hadith2 do not report any compulsiveness by Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) in observing Shab-e-Barat3, as a significant annual event for Muslims. It should also be noted in this special regard, that the Hadith period covers 23 years of the Prophet’s gloriously exemplary life, especially whilst the Holy Qur’an was being revealed in separate deliveries. An issue, which requires recognition, is the non-universality and the non-commonalty throughout the Muslim world on this event of Shab-e-Barat. In some Muslim communities, the event of Shab-e-Barat is given disproportionate publicity to some prescribed events, and in some other Muslim communities, Shab-e-Barat is just another night of dutiful prayers. The event of systematically moving forward from Shab-e-Barat to Ramadan4 may be compared to the 1 Shab-e-Barat comes from Persian roots, which was widely used during the Mughal Rule era and occupation of India (1526-1857). The various other Arabic country equivalents are Lailatul-Bara’ah, Laylatul Nisfe min Shaban and (Lailatul Nisfe in Southeast Asia). Some Muslim communities confuse this issue further, by incorrectly quoting the Holy Qur’an at 44.2-3: “2. By the Book that makes manifest! 3. We revealed it on a blessed night— truly We are ever warning.” In fact, this reference in the Holy Qur’an correctly refers to Lailatul-Qadr and which falls in the last 10 nights in the month of Ramadan.

  • The Rise of Radical Islam in Uzbekistan by Walter S
    The Rise of Radical Islam in Uzbekistan By Walter S. Zapotoczny Jr. Perhaps the most significant contemporary issue facing Central Asia today is the rise of radical Islam. This is especially evident in Uzbekistan. The radical Islamic elements that have gained support in Central Asia over the past decade differ greatly from strains of Islam native to the region. Since Uzbekistan Islam traditionally has moved away from Islam found in other parts of the world, including the Middle East, Asia, and Africa, the recent drive toward radicalism in the region can be viewed in the larger context of the global Islamic movement. However, before examining the factors that have given rise to radical Islam in Uzbekistan in the 1990s, one must briefly consider the history of Islam in the region. This history demonstrates that Islam has served and continues to serve as an important part of the identity of Uzbekistan. Although the populations of Central Asia have long embraced Islam, this identity has played a limited role as a vehicle for political mobilization. Given this history, the question arises as to whether or not radical Islam will serve as a mobilizing factor in Uzbekistan in the twenty-first century. The path of Islam in Central Asia has been one of continuity and change. Islamic traditions have been passed down for centuries, despite periods of repression of the faith. The religion was first introduced to Central Asia in the seventh century by Arab invaders arriving from the Middle East. It was not until the ninth century, however, that Islam was adopted by local rulers and became the predominant religion in the region.

  • Uzbek Modernization and Politics of Ethnicity
    International Journal of Engineering Inventions e-ISSN: 2278-7461, p-ISSN: 2319-6491 Volume 7, Issue 4 [April 2018] PP: 33-43 Uzbek Modernization And Politics Of Ethnicity Corresponding Author: ZILOLA ABDURAKHMANOVA (ISTANBUL AYDIN UNIVERSITY) Abstract. This paper is focused on the problems of modernization, which had to be solved in the Central Asian’s countries at the end 1980-ies to the early 1990-ies, after disintegration of Socialist World System and a subsequent transition to a market economy in the context of Uzbekistan. Uzbekistan became a powerful state with its own unique place in the World society, which developed quickly and steadily in a short period of time, from a country whose economy has been unilaterally developed and whose level of life was very low. Having overcome the crisis of the 90’s, retained the potential for further modernization on the basis of its own identity. The basis for such an optimistic assessment is the knowledge that each civilization has its own unique dynamics, which is determined by internal laws. Each civilization selectively perceives elements alien to it, without violating its own individuality. The paper has a primarily review and qualitative analysis of them modernization processes in the country after independence. Key Words: Modernization, Central Asia, Uzbekistan, Socialist World System, Market Economy. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------- Date of Submission: 28-04-2018 Date of acceptance: 14-05-2018 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------- I INTRODUCTION: WHAT IS A MODERNIZATION? “On progress we shall set our heart.
