The focus of all reforms carried out in Uzbekistan is young people. It is for this reason that
educating a harmonious generation in the spirit of patriotism, teaching is one of the most basic
tasks before our state. Teaching young people to independently think and view the world, modern
knowledge and thinking is the main thing, to love their motherland, to speak their native language
and foreign languages correctly and fluently is considered the main task for every educator.
Today, literature relies on the theory of personality-oriented education in developing the
methodological foundations of teaching. “...in this place, we are talking, first of all,about the
creation of the necessary environment and conditions for the wide promotion of the rich history of
our country,its unique culture, the transmission of the achievements of World Science and
literature among young people and the population.
The restoration of lost traditions, the awareness of the uniqueness of the culture of each
ethnic group are the priorities of our era. The state seeks to educate tolerance and mutual respect
in the younger generation. The priority of any state is patriotic education. In addition to personal
115
aspirations, a person needs universal values, and one of them is a sense of patriotism, this
patriotism, love for his homeland, this is a moral trait that connects all people to a single society.
Only a society united by love for its homeland can make the state holistic and prosperous. Patriotic
education goes through several stages: love for the motherland from love for your family. Love
for the motherland is the highest level of patriotism. In recent years, special attention has been paid
to teaching students to analyze a work of art.
This issue has been attracting the attention of scientists for many years. In this regard, the
work of the poet, playwright, translator, scientist, educator Maqsud Shaykhzoda is based on pure
love, relationships between people, friendly ties, impeccable thoughts and the highest feelings of
patriotism. The poetry of Maqsud Shaykhzoda is closely related to modernity in each line of his
civic lyrics is very relevant. Maqsud Shaykhzoda's poems are deep in content, very logical in
meaning. The basis of his poetry is heroic, psychological, dramatic processes.
His 437-page book, "25 years of controversy", also features examples of native lyricism.
In the present, we are creating conditions for the revival of the Customs and achievements of our
past ancestors. It serves as a factor in ensuring tolerance, peace and stability to young people. An
integral part of the formation of patriotism among modern youth is education on the example of
the heroes of the Great Patriotic War.
During the years of World War II, Maqsud Shaykhzoda published several collections of
poetry: “What is the Battle for?” ,” Fight and song“,” The Heart Speaks“,” born with Thunder". In
parallel, the Comrade wrote the poems “eleventh”, “Zhenya”, “third son”, “Elder” about
Okhunboboyev. Knowledge of historical events provides the basis for the formation of patriotic
feelings among modern youth.
The theme of the Great Patriotic War and patriotism did not lose its relevance in the work
of Maqsud Shaykhzoda, since this event influenced every family. Victory Day is widely celebrated
every year in countries that have fought against fascist invaders. Thousands of young people died
on the battlefield. They were inspired by the idea of winning. They gave their lives for our youth
and our state so that we could prosper.
Everyone should be grateful that they breathe deeply in a free country. It should be noted
that patriotism is manifested in the unity of spirituality, citizenship and social activity of a person,
which is formed under the influence of many factors. In this case, education occupies the main
role. After all, it always has a decisive influence on the formation of an individual and, as a result,
on the well-being of the whole society.

Young people themselves must participate in solving the problems of patriotic education
of the modern generation, realize the importance of their activities in the life of the motherland
and love, know and respect its culture, traditions and history. The sense of patriotism is inherently
multifaceted. This is not only love for the motherland, but also love for their native places and
pride for their people and the desire to feel indistinguishable from the world around them, to
preserve and increase the wealth of their country.
During the Uiug Patriotic War, Maqsud Shaykhzoda combined the best poetic traditions
of Uzbek folklore and classical poetry with the achievements of modern literature. Maqsud
Shaykhzoda writes works in the genres of classical Eastern poetry. The theme of patriotism is
raised in the “poem about Tashkent” (“Tashkent”, “quarter century sofa” collection of Selected
Works, the lyrical Collection “years and paths”, “perspective”, “lyrical and philosophical works”.
The theme of Maqsud Shaikhzoda's patriotic upbringing in the tragedy “Jaloliddin
Manguberdi” historically accurately and truthfully described the martial courage of the last
Khwarazmian King, who fought against the Mongol conquerors for the freedom and independence
of his land.In 1988,” Jaloliddin Manguberdi “was first published in full print in the Uzbek-
language writer's book” The Immortal World".
This work, in the spirit of heroism, which exudes a sense of patriotism in the hearts of
people, has not lost its relevance today. Even after many years, the works of the Shaikhzoda have
shown their strength. In the process of reading the work, we find out that Maqsud Shaikhzoda has
adequately approached the history of our people, including the fate and struggle of Jalaliddin
Manguberdi, defended the truth. The work "Jaloliddin Manguberdi" evokes a spirit of self-
awareness, pride in nationality in young people. That is why these works once again proved the
sharpness of Shaykhzoda's writing mind and creativity. Another great contribution of Maqsud
Shaikhzoda to Uzbek literature is the tragedy “Mirzo Ulugbek”.
The tragedy was written in 1964, the same year the work was put on the stage of the Hamza
theater, later a feature film was created on its basis. Reading the above-mentioned dramatic works
of Maqsud Shaykhzoda and a number of other examples of creativity, we witness in each of them
the skillful expression of feelings of high patriotism. The historical memory of the people is passed
down from generation to generation. Spiritual and cultural values created in the past become the
property of modern society. A vivid example of this is the works of Maqsud Shaikhzoda, written
in the spirit of such patriotism and love for the motherland.
In conclusion, as the president of Uzbekistan Shavkat Mirziyoyev noted in his speeches:
“at the moment there is no way between young people without forming a stable civil position,
117
without developing initiative, independence and being ready to defend the interests of their
country.” One of the important tasks of the process of raising young people at the present stage of
the development of education is the formation and development of a sense of patriotism in students
through our invaluable masterpieces, since without this feeling it is impossible to talk about the
upbringing of a truly harmonious person.
