Hamza Hakimzade Niyazi (Uzbek: حمزہ حکیم زادہ نیازی / Ҳамза Ҳакимзода Ниёзий / Hamza Hakimzoda Niyoziy) (March 6 [O.S. 22 February] 1889 – 18 March 1929) was an Uzbek author, composer, playwright, poet, scholar, teacher, and political activist. Niyazi is widely seen as one of the leading figures in the early development of modern Uzbek literary tradition. He is generally considered the first Uzbek playwright, the founder of modern Uzbek musical forms, as well as the founder of Uzbek social realism. During the Russian Revolution, he strongly supported the Bolsheviks, as they strongly opposed the system of feudal rule that was prevalent in much of Central Asia. Read more on Wikipedia
