The most beautiful Tajik women. How do Tajiks live in their homeland? (32 photos) Tajik woman pictures beautiful

Being a Tajik is proud, because, according to many, these are the most hardworking, most submissive, most faithful and strongest women of the East.

But being a Tajik is also very difficult, because the family in Tajikistan is almost entirely based on women. They will feed deliciously, and dress neatly, and without complaint they will take on all the male cares for the family when their other halves do not return from labor migration for years.

This is how they are brought up by strict mothers and uncompromising traditions, and not yet clear prohibitions, which the girls themselves are aware of from the day they were born.

Eyebrows and freedom of a Tajik girl

Perhaps the strangest Tajik taboo is not to pluck your eyebrows before marriage. And it doesn’t matter what time the girl is lucky enough to start a family. Let it be 30, but you can’t pluck your eyebrows!

By the way, no matter how strange it may sound, there are quite adequate reasons.

Firstly, neatly plucked eyebrows are a sign of married women. And if a young girl suddenly likes potential suitors at some event, then they will be judged not only by their manners, but also by their eyebrows. People will not ask directly if she is married. And unplucked eyebrows just hint at the free status of the girl.

Secondly, in addition to hints, there is another, very important side of the issue - Islam (and 99% of Tajiks profess this religion) does not welcome changes in God's creation. It is canonically allowed to give a well-groomed look, but at the same time it is necessary to catch the line at which the eyebrows will be neat, but their shape will not change.

For a Tajik, a date is a sign of depravity

Before marriage, it is strictly forbidden to meet with men - to arrange romantic dates by candlelight, going to the cinema or walking in the rain. You can forget about it. And it’s a sin to even think about innocent kisses and touching hands.

And how do Tajik women create a family in such conditions? Very simple, because falling in love before marriage is allowed. Choosing a life partner is the same. But it is fanatically important for men that their future half be immaculate and pure.

She, roughly speaking, should belong in body and soul to only one man - her future spouse - and wait for him humbly. Otherwise, a shame not only for the girl, but for all her relatives. And normal families will not come to marry her. And, God forbid, she will remain an old maid. Something like this scares girls in strict, traditional Tajik families.

Dash at 30 for a Tajik girl

There is nothing worse for a mother than a daughter left in girls. No sooner does the girl hit 18 than the parents seriously begin to collect the dowry for their beautiful and unique daughter. And suddenly tomorrow matchmakers will knock on the door. And this, by the way, is quite possible.

And God forbid that the daughter turned out to be stubborn, fastidious and with big plans for personal growth for the future. And after all, such people will be delayed with marriage right up to 30 years with the risk of remaining an old maid. By the way, by this time the neighbor's daughter will have three children running around the yard.

Tajiks are sure that time is gold, if you lose it, you won’t get it back. And marriage, like time, does not spare if you miss your chance. And the chances, of course, are more up to 30 years. After this line, young suitors will go to woo the young, and the old ones too.

And with his plans for personal growth, he will be left alone with himself.

Of course, in modern society, not all Tajik girls strictly follow these, but they still try to adhere to them.

Quoting Camille:

I can’t say anything about the beauty that is described above, but in Uzbekistan many TV show stars, actors and singers are not Uzbeks, just like the population itself is mostly non-Uzbeks. I will give some examples: the singer Yulduz Usmanova is a Uighur by nationality, the singer Raykhon is a Uyghur by nationality, the singer Shakhzoda is a Karakalpak by nationality, the singer Lola Akhmedova is a Tajik from Denau, Surkhandarya region, the singer Nasiba Abdullayeva is Iranian by nationality, was born in Samarkand, singer Samandar Khamrokulov is a green-eyed Tajik from Namangan, actors Murod Radjabov and his son Adiz Radjabov are Bukhara Tajiks, etc., the list can be continued indefinitely. All of these listed gentlemen are registered as Uzbeks on their passports. Further, one should not confuse the Sarts with the Uzbeks, maybe some part of the Sarts mixed with the Uzbeks, but some did not. And then the Sarts and the Uzbeks have never been a single people, they were united only in the Soviet era. These two peoples have always fought with each other and mixed marriages between them were very rare, since the Sarts are settled residents of Fergana, Tashkent, etc. but the Uzbeks are the descendants of the Dashti-Kipchak Khan.

TURKESTAN REGION

Prince V. I. Masalsky
S.- PETERSBURG.
1913.

In the Khanate of Khiva, there are about 336,000 souls of Uzbeks (64.7% of the total population), and in Bukhara - probably at least 900,000-1,000,000. Thus, the total number of Uzbeks in Turkestan reaches at least 2,000,000 souls of both sexes, and they make up the bulk of the population in the Samarkand region and in some areas of the Syrdarya and Ferghana regions, as well as in the Khiva and Bukhara khanates, where, in addition, they are also the ruling people.

Tajiks, who make up about 7% of the inhabitants of the Russian regions of Turkestan, are the descendants of the ancient Aryan population of the country, who left Iran and occupied the southern part of Central Asia in prehistoric times. This population, having experienced a series of invasions, wars and bloody troubles in the course of a long string of centuries, which were especially hard on it under the rule of the Turkic-Mongols, partly mixed with the conquerors, partly, under the pressure of the latter, was pushed back into the mountainous part of Turkestan and there preserved , in greater or lesser purity, their tribal traits. At present, Tajiks inhabit mainly the southern mountainous part of the country; according to the 1897 census, there were: in the Fergana region - 114.081 souls of both sexes (7.25% of the total population of the region), in the Samarkand region - 230.384 (26.78%) and in the Syr-Darya region - 5.557 souls (about 0 .40%). In the Fergana region, Tajiks live mainly in Skobelev (Margelan), Kokand and Namangan districts, in Samarkand - in Samarkand, Khojent and Katta-Kurgan districts, and in Syrdarya - in Tashkent district. There are no Tajiks at all in the Trans-Caspian region, and only 264 people are registered in the Semirechensk region. Thus, the total number of Tajiks in the Russian regions of the region was, according to the census, 350.286 people, i.e. 6.63% of the total population. There are no Tajiks at all in the Khiva Khanate, but in Bukhara they make up the bulk of the population of the mountainous parts of the Khanate - Karategin, Darvaz, Roshan, Shugnan, Vakhan and other areas of the upper flow of the Amu Darya, and also partly bekstvo - Kulyab and Valdzhuan. There is no exact information about the number of Tajiks in Bukhara; according to some data, they make up about 30% of the total population, according to others, apparently more reliable, there are no more than 350-400 thousand Tajiks in the Khanate; if we accept the last figure, then the number of Tajiks in all of Central Asia was about 750,000 by the time of the census, i.e., about 9% of its total population.

The Turkishization of the Tajiks, which took place over a number of centuries, continues to the present, manifesting itself with particular force in cities or where the remnants of the Tajiks are scattered in islands among the Turkic population. This phenomenon is especially noticeable in the Tashkent district, where in many villages the Tajiks underwent strong Sartization, half-forgotten their language and in the near future they will completely merge with the Sarts. The Sarts are pleased with such a transformation, rejoicing that “the slave, who did not know the human (Sart) language before, is now becoming a Turk”, as for the Tajiks, they treat their Sartization rather indifferently and even, perhaps, go towards it, since, having become Sarts, they get rid of the shameful nickname of a slave (kul), given to them by the Turks.

The Sarts speak the Jagatai dialect, which differs from the Uzbek and is known under the name Sart-tili.

Tajiks are a people numbering, according to various estimates, 15-22 million people, of which only 6 million live in Tajikistan, while in Afghanistan there are 8-11 million Tajiks.

Significant Tajik diasporas also exist in Uzbekistan (1.6 million), Pakistan (1 million), Iran, and Russia.

Tajiks (like Uzbeks) are Caucasoids, belong to the Pamir-Fergana race, among Tajiks of the plains there is an admixture of Mongoloid elements.
Unlike Uzbeks and other Turkic-speaking peoples of Central Asia, Tajiks speak different versions of the Persian language (Farsi): in Tajikistan - Tajik Farsi (Tajik), and Afghanistan - Dari (Farsi-Kabuli).

Let's fast forward to distant, hot Tajikistan and see how the family of the most ordinary guest worker Davladbek lives, who works as a welder at a construction site in Yekaterinburg for nine months a year and sends money to his homeland to support his family.

If we forget for a moment about the images of Ravshan and Dzhamshut, who are firmly entrenched in the Russian mass consciousness, and think about the question “Who are these Tajiks?”, then most Russians will have approximately the same answer. I'll try to guess. Tajiks are people from Tajikistan who work in Russia as migrant workers at construction sites, traders in stalls, posters of advertisements, car mechanics in garages, janitors and drivers of minibuses. Tajiks live in decrepit dormitories, in basements, in cramped rented apartments for a hundred people, or even worse - in abandoned houses ...

All this may be so. Today I wanted to talk about something else.

(Here it is worth making a clarification that this happened in October 2014, when the ruble was already depreciating, but not so rapidly.)

1. We were running out of water supplies. Nearby, the Pyanj River roared and seethed, but its waters were painfully muddy. And besides, we were told that it is better not to approach the river - after all, the border with Afghanistan.

2. In a small village, we stopped at an inconspicuous and only store in the hope of finding at least some water for sale. But the store sold everything wrong - carpets, mattresses and kurpachi. They also sold washing powder and toothpaste, but there was no water. Behind the counter stood and was embarrassed, lowering her black eyes, a girl of about thirteen, who spoke Russian very poorly.

We had a dialogue like this:

Where can you buy drinking water in your village?

Water is possible, a stream - and the girl showed her hand somewhere to the northeast.

Quite logical. Water is not for sale because there are mountain streams. Why didn't we think of it right away?

Do you have a canteen or cafe where you can eat?

Eat? Can! Dad is coming to eat!

3. The girl confidently led me through the gate into the yard. She walked and looked back all the time, smiled embarrassedly and seemed to be afraid that I would stop following. We passed some vegetable gardens, a field with potatoes, a large parking lot with a ditch and an old UAZ car under a tree. At the end of a large lot that was larger than a standard football field was a whitewashed one-story house.

4. The girl went into the house and called the father of the family - Davladbek Bayrambekov. Davladbek spoke Russian well, so our conversation began traditionally:

Where are you from Moscow, what area? I went to Red Square, I remember it was cold.

It is worth noting here that all adult Tajik men with whom we communicated anywhere - everyone has been to Moscow at least once and everyone has worked somewhere. Everything! The statistic is 100%. That is, they were our guests, even if we are not famous for hospitality. And we don't have them.

We met, began to talk about our journey, and that we were looking for water in the store in the village. Davladbek laughed, invited us to the house for tea and explained that we no longer needed to go that day, because his wife was already preparing dinner, and after dinner the weather would deteriorate and it would rain. And that sleeping in tents in the rain is a dubious pleasure.

Of course, we agreed to tea, but we politely refused to stay the night, citing a strong delay in the travel schedule.

5. After our trip, I can responsibly declare that Tajiks are very hospitable people. In Russia, they are completely different from those at home. In Moscow, these quiet and sometimes downtrodden guys behave quieter than water, lower than grass, but at home everything is different - a guest is always a great joy for them. Any owner of the house considers it his duty to accept and tasty treat the guest.

Each house has a large room called "Mehmonhona", designed specifically for receiving guests. Family holidays and weddings are also celebrated here.

6. A tablecloth called “dostarkhan” is laid on the floor. Tea plays a big role in feasts. The youngest man pours it. They drink, as is customary, from a bowl, which must be taken only with the right hand, and the left hand should be kept on the right side of the chest.

An interesting fact is that the pourer pours the first bowl of any drink not to someone, but to himself. All this is just a custom, so that others are convinced that there is no poison in the drink. In ordinary everyday life, the eldest of the family takes food first, but when there is a guest in the house, this honor is given to the guest.

7. Tajiks sit on the floor, covered with beautiful carpets and mattresses stuffed with cotton or cotton, which are called kurpaches. According to their rules, you can not sit with your legs extended forward or to the side. Lying down is also indecent.

8. Portrait of a young Davladbek during his service in the Soviet army.

9. The main cell that forms a person is the family. Tajik families are large, with an average of five or six or more people. Children are taught unquestioning obedience and respect for elders and parents.

In rural areas, girls do not complete more than eight grades. After all, according to tradition, a woman does not need to be educated at all. Her destiny is to be a wife and mother. For Tajik girls, it is very scary and shameful to be a "peregrine". Not getting married on time is worse than the worst nightmare.

Household work is also done by women. It is shameful for a man to do such work. Traditionally, for the first six months, a young wife cannot leave her husband's house and cannot visit her parents.

We talked over tea. Davladbek said that Tajiks love Russians, and Russians treat them well. Then we asked about work. It turns out that in the mountainous villages of Tajikistan there is no work for money at all. Well, except for doctors and teachers, although their salaries are ridiculous. Every doctor and teacher has his own garden and keeps cattle to feed his family - there is no other way. In order to somehow live, all adult men go to work on the "mainland".

So we smoothly switched to the topic of the mechanism for delivering guest workers to Russia. After all, the entire male population of a sunny country cannot take and go to work with us when they don’t even have money for a ticket ...

Davladbek told us about the “companies”. Representatives of large “companies” (which we did not understand exactly) regularly come to all villages, even the most distant ones, who recruit representatives of various professions to work in Russia. Each candidate signs a contract. Then these same “companies” send Tajiks to Russia for their own money and get them a job. But at the same time, for the first month, each guest worker does not receive any money - he gives his entire salary to the same “company” for his transfer to Russia.

Tajiks spend their last month's salary on a ticket home to their family. Because of this, it turns out that going for less than a year does not make sense.

Davladbek is a professional welder. He officially works at a construction site in Yekaterinburg, has all the necessary documents, registration, permits and certificates. In 2014, his salary was 25,000 rubles, of which about 19,000 went for housing, food and travel. Davladbek sent about $200 monthly to his family in Tajikistan, and this was quite enough for his family to buy everything they needed, which is not possible to produce on their own in the village.

10. Having enjoyed tea and treats, we were about to go further, but Davladbek suggested going to the water mill, which he built himself. We became interested, and we went somewhere up the mountain stream.

The metal structure in the photograph is part of a ditch that circles the hills and runs through the villages downstream of the Pyanj. A fragment of a huge irrigation system built back in the days of the Soviet Union and still operating today. Excess water from the canal system is discharged into mountain streams using manual metal gates.

11. And here is the mill. Although it is not as beautiful as we imagined, it is a real technology museum. The design of the mill is the same as it was a thousand years ago!

12. Water from a mountain stream enters the mill through a wooden canal.

13. Water transfers hydropower to the water wheel and spins it. Thus, a large round stone is spun, into the center of which grain is fed through a mechanical separator. The grain falls under the stone and is ground, and the centrifugal force pushes the finished product - flour - to the consumer.

14. Residents from neighboring villages come to Davladbek's mill. They bring their grain and also make flour from which they then bake bread. Davladbek does not take money for this. Residents themselves, as they see fit, leave a small amount of flour in gratitude. The door to the mill is always open.

15. Here it is, an ingenious hydraulic structure of the XXI century!

Davladbek was right. Heavy, gray clouds hung from the gorge, and soon we were chased away by the gathering pace of rain. The fog descended almost to the very village, it became dank and chilly. The thought of spending the night in a tent set off a chain reaction of pimply goosebumps all over my body.

Don't stop, go through the house. Dinner is ready, - Davladbek said - spend the night at home today. Get enough sleep. Tomorrow morning with the sun, you will go well.

16. Davladbek was right once again. We stayed overnight. I would like to say a huge thank you to Davladbek and his entire family for giving us shelter! In the morning it froze well, and until the sun rose, it was quite chilly. I was able to get a good feel for this by running in a T-shirt to the toilet, which was located in the far corner of a huge area.

18. We had breakfast. Davladbek's children said goodbye to us and ran off to school. The school was in a neighboring village.

20. Upstream of the river, fifteen kilometers from Ishkoshim were the ruins of an old fortress dating back to the 3rd century. Until recently, there was a frontier post in the ruins of an old fortress.

21. Davladbek showed us the way to the fortress and arranged a short excursion there. Panorama of Afghanistan.

24. Afghan houses and fields can be seen to the left behind the narrow gorge of the river.

25. Outwardly, the life of the Afghans is no different from the Tajik side. Unless there are paved roads. Previously, these lands belonged to one people.

28. Do not assume that all Tajiks live like the heroes of our reportage. We lived in a Pamiri house, a hundred meters from the border, far from major cities. In the modern world, the inhabitants of Tajikistan began to build their lives in the image of the West. However, there are still many families that value their traditions.

29. Recently I called Davladbek and congratulated him on the New Year. He asked how his health and family were when he was going to visit us in Russia in Yekaterinburg again. I thought of visiting him there, bringing photographs from the Pamirs, seeing how he lives with us in Russia, and comparing. Davladbek said that now a visa to Russia has become even more expensive, and work has become cheaper, and so far he cannot say when he will come again. But he promised that he would definitely come back)

30. Tajiks come to us not from a good life. It seems to me that no Pamiri would ever trade his mountains for dusty Moscow. Going to work, they do not see their relatives, their children for months and sometimes years.

Now I often pay attention to the Tajiks in Moscow. I immediately remember Davladbek, his house, his family, his hospitality and his mill. I'm talking to my janitors and vendors in the tent. At first they look away in disbelief, as they are used to being noticed only by the police, but then they are very happy when they find out that I have been to their homeland, which I really liked there. And then it's my turn to ask:

Where are you from, what area?

31. Thank you for your attention!
