The Andijan uprising of 1898 was a nationalist rebellion which occurred on 30 May [O.S. 18 May] 1898. Over 200 lightly armed men attacked the Russian forces at Andijan (formerly part of the Khanate of Kokand), under the direction of the Naqshbandi Sufi sheikh "Dukchi Ishan" (Muhammad Ali Madali) (1856–1898). The majority of the rebels were Kyrgyz, who in 1875 had rebelled against Muhammad Khudayar Khan khan (who reigned 1845–1858, 1862–1863, and 1867–1875), and had played a large role in the collapse of the khanate.
