Being simultaneous with the political changes in the political geography of the Transoxanien region and turning to the Central Asia and consequently to the five-council based republics, the concept of homeland in the Tajik contemporary literature has gone throng major changes. The main issue of this research is the study of the transformation of homeland’s concept in contemporary Tajik literature from the period of acquaintance (1905-1870) to independence and national self-consciousness (1991) in the context of periodization of this contemporary tradition. This concept has experienced what changes during the 145 literature? The writer has used a descriptive – analytical method based on Literary Periodization under the theory of literature history to analyze the changes of this concept and its relations with the Persian speaker’s world and Iran. Accordingly and during this period, the formation of political developments directly affected the concept of homeland, first isolated it from religion, and then incorporated it into the framework of the city of Bukhara. Thus, throughout the period of Soviet Union the concept of homeland has had the ideological load and been tied to the notion of socialist thought and cosmopolitanism. Furthermore, it has been linked to the concept of common culture and history with Aryans after the period of independence. The research results will pave the way to take an effective step to scrutinize the literary and intellectual currents of Persian speakers in the region and are also useful to cultural -regional policy makers.
