UZBEK AND INDIAN CULTURAL RELATIONS ON THE EXAMPLE OF SUFYANA KALAM AND MAQAM MUSICAL GENRE.

Abstract

This scientific article discusses the history of Central Asian and Indian cultures, their integration, and their rise to a new level with the Islamic era. Historical information is given about the emergence of a syncretic culture consisting of the combination of Hindu and Muslim traditions, which left a deep mark on the religious-philosophical thinking, social and political history of the two peoples. Indian and Islamic sources, which shaped the culture of Kashmir over the centuries and formed the basis for the formation of similar features of the genre of Sufyana kalam and Maqam, are analyzed, and opinions are expressed about the role of national music in the social life of Uzbeks today.
