At the beginning of the 20th century, the name Tavallo (Tolagan Khojamyorov) was widely renowned. Ordinary people avidly read his poems, memorized them, and his works were even studied at Bamberg University. However, due to well-known historical reasons, the life and works of this creator, like those of other representatives of Jadid literature, remained in the shadows for a certain period. During the years of independence, thanks to the dedicated efforts of our scholars, “awakening” works were revived, including the fiery lines of Tavallo. In 1993, a collection of his nationalistic poems titled Ravnaqul-Islam was prepared for publication by Professor B. Qosimov and published under the same name. As the nation commemorated its son, it began to better appreciate its immense fortune and understand the value of the supreme blessing called independence. Tolagan Khojamyorov, in line with the creative traditions of the early 20th century, wrote under more than ten literary pseudonyms, including “Tavallo Toshkandiy,” “Tolagan Khojamyorov Tavallo,” “Tavallo,” “Toshkandli Mulla Tolagan Khojamyorov,” “Mukhbir Magzava,” “Magzava,” “Magzavakhoja,” “Mukhbircha,” “Nonsavatchi Shoir Magzava,” “Tolagan Miyorov,” and others. This article analyzes Tavvalo’s role in the history of modern Uzbek literature.
