Abstract

. Ghulam Zafari is a significant figure in Uzbek modern literature. He distinguished himself as a poet, dramatist, folklorist, and musicologist. Regarded as the founder of Uzbek children's drama and the author of the first Uzbek musical drama, Ghulam Zafari holds a pivotal position in the literary history of the country. His play, "Halima", garnered substantial popularity among the Uzbek people during the 1920s and 1930s. Esteemed figures of Uzbek literature, including Fitrat, Cholpon, and Abdulla Qadiri, as well as Russian art critics like B. Pestovsky and V. Ouspensky, highly rated his work. Ghulam Zafari left a lasting legacy in 20th-century Uzbek culture. This article provides a succinct analysis of Ghulam Zafari's life and his masterpieces, drawing upon an archival analysis of newspapers published at the beginning of the 20th century.
