‎Islam and politics in Central Asia.‎

‎As New English Paperback. Pbo. Demy 8vo. (21 x 14 cm). In English. [xxiv], 264 p. 1 b/w map. Islam and politics in Central Asia. Islam and Politics in Central Asia offers a new and sophisticated look at the role of Islam in the loosely interrelated, newly independent republics of Central Asia. The widely-held assumption that these republics would fall under the sway of fanatical Muslim clergy controlled by neighboring Iran has not been entirely accurate. In reality, there has been a far greater religious diversity in the region than was first anticipated. Misconceptions about the power of Islam in Central Asia have been largely due to the scarcity of information under the closed Soviet system and have been reinforced by the peripheral status of the region in the geopolitical calculations of the West. Certainly, Islam will still play a central cohesive role in the area since it provides an alternative to the largely discredited power of communism; however, secular trends nurtured under Soviet rule, as well as those presented by Turkey and China, will be just as significant. Central Asia is currently faced with a difficult future. In terms of its natural wealth and well-educated workforce, it has the potential to become a highly dynamic component of the post-Cold War world. However, it also has the potential to become an area of chronic instability as the continuing civil war in Tajikistan has demonstrated. By taking all of these factors into account, Islam and Politics in Central Asia presents the essential guide to the politics of this fascinating region.‎

‎Fine English Original imitation leather bound. Large Roy. 8vo. (25 x 17 cm). In Uighur Turkish with Arabic letters. Reprint. [xxxii], 662, [3] p., b/w and color plts., many color and b/w folding maps and plates. Muhammad Amin Bughra (1901-1965) was a Turkic Muslim leader, who planned to set up an independent state, the First East Turkestan Republic. In the spring of 1937, rebellion again broke out in southern Sinkiang. A number of factors contributed to the outbreak. In an effort to appease the Turkic Muslims, Sheng Shicai had appointed a number of their non-secessionist leaders, including Khoja Niyaz Hajji and Yulbars Khan, another leader of the Kumul uprising (February 20, 1931- November 30, 1931), to positions of influence in the provincial government, both in Di Hua (modern Ürümqi) and Kashgar. At the same time, educational reforms, which attacked basic Islamic principles, and the atheistic propaganda program, which was being extended into the south, were further alienating the local population from Sheng's administration. In Kashgar Mahmud Sijang, a wealthy Muslim, former leader of the Turpan uprising (1932), and one of Sheng's appointees, became the focal point for opposition to the government. Meanwhile, in Afghanistan under Sardar Mohammad Hashim Khan, Muhammad Amin Bughra, the exiled leader of the Turkish Islamic Republic of East Turkestan (TIRET, known as the first East Turkestan Republic), had approached the Japanese ambassador in 1935 with "a detailed plan proposing the establishment of an 'Eastern Turkestan Republic' under Japanese sponsorship, with munitions and finance to be supplied by Tokyo. he suggested as the future leader of this proposed Central Asian 'Manchukuo' none other than Mahmud Sijang (Mahmut Muhiti - commander of the 6th Uyghur Division, stationed in Kashgar as part of the Sinkiang provincial armed forces, since July 20, 1934), amongst the invitation at such political entity as Greater East Asian Co-Prosperity Sphere how active member." However, this plan was aborted when Mahmud, fearful for his life, fled from Kashgar to India on April 2, 1937, after failed attempt of Sheng Shicai to disarm his troops by offering to " modernize " weapons of 6th Uyghur Division, prior which all old weapons of Division was to be given over to Urumchi representatives. Mahmud's flight sparked an uprising amongst his troops against provincial authorities. Those who were pro-Soviet in any way were executed, and yet another independent Muslim administration was set up under leadership of the close associate of Mahmut Muhiti General Abduniyaz (killed in action in Yarkand on August 15, 1937), who adopted a command of troops, which enlisted about 4,000 soldiers and officers, consisted of 4 regiments, two of them being stationed in Kashgar, one in Yangihissar, one in Yarkand, also one brigade was stationed in Ustin Atush and one cavalry guard escadron in Kashgar. Sheng Shicai's provincial troops were defeated and routed by rebels in the fierce battle near city of Karashahr in July,1937, but eventually the uprising was quelled by Soviet troops (by the so-called Kyrgyz Brigade, about 5,000 troops, consisted of two tactical groups- Oshskaya and Narinskaya, each included 2 mountain regiments, one of Red Army and one of NKVD, reinforced by armoured vehicles, tank battalion (21 BT-7) and aviation; there were unconfirmed reports of the use of chemical weapons by these intervention forces against rebels), invited by Sheng Shicai to intervene in the August, 1937. In 1940, Muhammad Amin Bughra published this book, Sharkiy Turkestan Tarihi (East Turkestan History) while in exile in Kashmir, which described the history of the region from ancient times to the present day, and contained an analysis of the reasons for the loss of its independence in the middle of the eighteenth century. In 1940 Isa Yusuf Alptekin and Ma Fuliang who were sent by Chiang Kai-shek, visited Afghanistan and contacted Bughra, they asked him to come to Chongqinq‎
