Berdakh is a great poet of the Karakalpak people. The themes of his works are very rich. His
poetry embodies a clear picture of the social and political life of the Karakalpak people for a
century. The main theme of Berdakh's works is the social life of the Karakalpak people, the
sad life of the Karakalpak people. He was a "nightingale of the desert" who shared the joys and
sorrows of the people and sang it. Berdakh lived in a time of political inequality, darkness,
oppression and injustice, and called on the people to fight for a free life, honor the good sons
of the people, call the youth to be polite, educated, humble, to serve the people. . He called on
the people to be loyal, patient, courageous, brave and love honest work. He advocated for the
freedom of women, wanting respected mothers, dear brides and young girls to be free.
Berdakh's language was rich and understandable to the people. From Berdakh's beautiful
small lyrical spoons, the content of his great works is a struggle for a free and happy life. That
is why the people of Karakalpakstan love him so much.
Morality, manners, elegance and beauty play an important role in Berdakh's creative heritage.
His poems contain valuable ideas about national and universal values, patriotism, friendship
of peoples, and simple morals. According to the poet, some mullahs and eshons present
themselves to the people as honest and pure. In practice, we see the opposite. The poet
exposes their hypocrisy. In his moral views, Berdak continued the best traditions of the East.
In his poems "I sought", "For the people", "Better", "I need", he praised the honest work of
people. According to him, the main duty of every person is to serve the people and their well-
being. Another important aspect of Berdakh's moral views is to respect the people, especially
the elderly, the weak and the disabled, the poor and the destitute, and to help them as much as
possible. Like Navoi, Berdak divides people into two groups: good and bad. When we say good
man, we mean people who are wise, intelligent, knowledgeable, helpful, and good-natured,
with all human qualities. The bad man, in Berdakh's view, is a national catastrophe, he does
not value the people and his brother. In general, humanity is at the center of the poet's moral
views. In many of his poems, Berdakh sought to inculcate the ideas of raising children,
respecting adults, patriotism for the younger generation, love for his people, and friendship
and brotherhood between peoples.
Berdak's lyrical poems and epics reflect the social life of the Karakalpak people in the 18th
and 19th centuries. He evaluates the events of his time and social relations as an intelligent
poet. His works promote equality, humanity, justice and patriotism. Berdak's work focuses on

the plight of the working people ("Not", "Tax", "This Year", "My Life", etc.). For the truth, the
poet dreams of selfless fighters for the happiness and future of the working masses ("For the
people", "I need", etc.). In the works "History", "Generations", "Omongeldi", "Azadosbiy",
"Ernazarbiy" the poet proudly sings about national heroes. Berdakh's "Generations" is a
chronicle of historical events, which deals with the life of the Karakalpak people and other
Turkic peoples, and the origins of tribes and peoples. Berdakh exposes some greedy clerics
("Better", "Shekilli", etc.), defends women's rights, urges young people to love the country, to
reach the heights of enlightenment ("To my son", "Do not be stupid", etc.).
In his poetic observations and outlook on life, Berdakh wishes the workers a happy life. As
Berdakh thought about making the people happy, he asked Allah for help ("Help"), thought
about happiness ("I sought"), dreamed of a just king ("Need"), and hoped to build a happy
society. Berdakh's work is close to the traditions of folklore. Due to the diversity of his work,
the ideological and artistic height of his works, he occupies a prominent place in the history of
Karakalpak literature. Many of his works have been translated into Uzbek and other
languages. The 170th anniversary of Berdakh's birth was widely celebrated in Uzbekistan and
Karakalpakstan (1998). One of the alleys in Tashkent was named after Berdakh and a bust
was erected. The poet's birthplace, Bozatov, also has a bust (1998). In Nukus, a statue of
Berdakh was erected, a musical drama theater, a street and a school were named after
Berdakh. Berdakh is a famous poet of the Karakalpak people, a real child. Many schools,
streets, cinemas and libraries in Karakalpakstan are named after the poet. The Karakalpak
State Prize named after Berdakh was also established. The award is given to the best work in
the field of fiction, art and architecture. Irkutsk's literary, socio-political and philosophical
ideas, imbued with a high humanitarian spirit, still retain their educational significance in the
conditions of independence. The study of Berdakh's works and the search for his manuscripts
began in the 1930s. After that, his poems and epics were published first in his native language
and then in a number of other languages. An in-depth study of his life and work began. The
attitude of our country to independence, to the life and work of Berdakh has changed radically.
In 1998, by the decree of the President, the 180th anniversary of the birth of Berdimurat
Kargabay oglu Berdakh was widely celebrated. The Berdakh National Museum was
established at the Berdakh Karakalpak State University. Every nation will have great children
who will introduce their identity, national status and dignity to the world.
Every year on November 27 in our country the birthday of the great poet of Karakalpakstan
Berdimurat Kargaboy oglu Berdakh is widely celebrated. In particular, in the cities and
districts of Karakalpakstan, in places of spirituality and enlightenment, Berdakh events are
held. Samples of his poems and epics are read. The image of Berdakh has become a symbol not
only of Karakalpakstan, but also of the pride and pride of all Turkic peoples.
