Tajikistan Culture The most revered figures from Tajikistan's Persian past are the 10th century philosopher-scientist Abu Ali ibn Sina, author of two of the most important books in the history of medicine, and the poet Rudaki, court poet in Bukhara in the time of the Samanids. Tajiks also venerate Firdausi, a poet and composer of the Shah-nameh (Book of Kings), the Persian national epic, and Omar Khayyam, of Rubaiyat fame, both born in present-day Iran but at a time when it was in the same empire as Tajikistan. When Tajikistan was hived off from Uzbekistan in 1929, the new nation-state was forced to leave behind its cultural baggage. The new Soviet order set about providing a replacement pantheon of arts, introducing modern drama, opera and ballet. The policy paid early dividends and the 1940s are considered a golden era of Tajik theatre. A kind of Soviet fame came to some Tajik novelists and poets, such as Mirzo Tursunzade and Sadriddin Ayni, the latter now remembered more as a deconstructor of national culture because of his campaign to eliminate all Arabic expressions and references to Islam from the Tajik tongue. Since independence there has been something of a cultural revival in an attempt to foster a sense of national identity. The succuss of Tajikistan's most popular living writer, Taimur Zulfikarov, is attributed to his abiity to mimic the ancient Persian style of writing and, in doing so, to appeal to nationalist sentiments.

The country has experienced three changes in government and a five-year civil war since it gained independence in 1991. A peace agreement among rival factions was signed in 1997, and implemented in 2000. Although open skirmishes in the streets are less of a problem, economic development is an urgent priority to keep the country from sliding back into chaos. Although 80% of its population lives in abject poverty, there remains a trading, merchant and entrepreneurial culture in Tajikistan that survived decades of Soviet domination. Microfinance is an important means to leverage the potential of that culture. In one year of operation in Tajikistan, FINCA has found that its core product offering, village banking group loans targeted at women, holds strong potential. The program is on a steady growth trajectory and enjoyed perfect, 100% on-time repayment during fiscal year 2004.

This sustained constant religious and culturally based oppression of the majority of the world's population is a crime deserving of the ultimate punishment. Were I able, I just might eliminate the lesser half of the human race, knowing I would go with them. For our modern enlightened society is only marginally better.

80. AprilMES98 Note I have been working sporadically in tajikistan for the past few years as Russian culture is of course absent, but so are modern Iranian elements. http://www.aaanet.org/mes/decbee.htm

Anthropological Research in Tajikistan by William O. Beeman (Brown U) Note: I have been working sporadically in Tajikistan for the past few years as a consultant to the Aga Khan Humanities Project on higher-education reform in Dushanbeh. This is run by Harvard trained anthropologist Rafique Keshavjee (email: akhum@ATGE.AUTOMAIL.COM ). I am providing some background on the current situation in Tajikistan and prospects for future research for our membership. Tajikistan's Current Situation The Republic of Tajikistan is the smallest and most isolated of the new nations of former Soviet Central Asia. With a population of around 6 million, and virtually no arable land, it is also the poorest of the new Republics. Though possessing beautiful mountain landscape, the country is devoid of virtually all natural resources save hydroelectric power. Tajiks predictably have a very difficult economic future. The ethnic composition of Tajikistan is approximately 55% Tajik, 23% Uzbek, 10% Ethnic Russian and 2% Other. Tajiks also live in neighboring nations, notably Uzbekistan in the largely Tajik cities of Samarkand and Bukhara and the areas surrounding them. The most notable fact about the ethnic composition of the nation is that its population is virtually an island of Aryans in a sea of Turks. The nation thus has a greater cultural affinity with its Afghan and Pakistani neighbors to the south and with its Iranian neighbors to the west than with its immediate neighbors in the former Soviet Union.
