Özet: The Hodja, who was regarded as opinion leaders in socio-cultural events in Turkestan and respected, was called to East Turkestan by Abdul Kerim Khan (1559-1591) to increase the unity in the society during the Yarkend Khanate. After Abdulkerim Khan, many rulers invited Hodjas from West Turkestan to the region with the same goal. While the Hodjas gave suggestions to the public to ensure unity, they were divided into Aktağlık and Karatağlık among themselves and competed. This rivalry resulted in the collapse of the Yarkend Khanate, and the beginning of the Hodjas’ Period, which was connected to the Jungar Khanate. The Jungar Khanate, which supported the domination of the Hodja, was destroyed by the Qing Empire in 1755. The Qing Empire (1644-1911), who put an end to the Jungar Khanate in 1755, took advantage of the Aktağlık-Karatağlık conflict and invaded East Turkestan in 1759.With the invasion of the region by the Qing Empire, Han Hodja and Burhaneddin Hodja fled to Bedahşan with their families. Salih Hodja, son of Burhaneddin Hodja, worked for the independence of East Turkistan by forming public opinion in West Turkistan. Grown up in this political environment explaining the political activities of Jihangir Hodja, the grandson of Burhaneddin Hodja, Understanding the path to the Kashgar Khanate established by Yakup Khan in the region and the attitude of the Hokand Khanate towards the Hodja, the importance of the Hodja in the relations between the Qing Empire and the Hokand Khanate, and in the struggle for independence in East Turkestan.
