Reflection Of Good Governance in Kutadgu Bilig

Abstract

The Qarakhanid dynasty contributed two significant scientific works to humanity: Yusuf Khas Hajeb's "Kutadgu Bilig" and Mahmud Al-Kashghari's "Diwan Lughat al-Turk." Kutadgu Bilig is an illustrious tome replete with insights on state administration, politics, utopian ideals, philosophy, and science. Moreover, it functions as an educational narrative that retains significant value in contemporary times. This book, authored by the Kagans, imparts teachings that encompass the secrets of knowledge, philosophy, ethics, and societal regulations. Composed a millennium ago, these two volumes, regarded as invaluable artifacts, have endured through the ages. Kutadgu Bilig thoroughly examines the administrative conditions, organizational structure, social hierarchies, and customs of the Qarakhanid period. The book examines politics, state administration, administrative organization, and traditions of the Qarakhanid period through an engaging narrative, informed accounts, and delightful tales.
