Berdakh

His father was a poor fisherman and his mother, who gave him the nickname Berdakh, died when he was 10 years old.

The young poet began to study folk poetry and narrative classical masterpieces of the East.

Ajinyaz (1824–1878) another famous poet of that time, also played a significant role in Berdakh's life.

His most famous poems are: Ahmaq patsha (Tsar Samodur in Russian) that shows his life and poetic experience and lyrical Bolģan emes[1], which describes the struggles and hardships of Karakalpak people.

The khanate of Khiva considered Karakalpakia to be a nabob and was constantly imposed duties on its people.
