Uzbekisation

Uzbekisation or Uzbekization is the process of forcing or inducing an Uzbek identity on people or cultural heritage through a variety of administrative means. The term refers to the specific forms of indigenization (korenizacija) that took place in Uzbekistan during the process of national delimitation in Central Asia in the 1920s and early 1930s; however, it could also be used to denote about earlier assimilation into become what would be modern Uzbek (and partly, Uyghur) identities, in a separate form called Karlukification or Karlukization — as Uzbeks traced identity from the Karluks.
