The essence of ideology of “Manas” was firstly
recommended by first president of Kyrgyzstan. Ascar Akaev work out on project
of creating ideology of Kyrgyzstan and find out national branch which united
Kyrgyz people from generation of generation. It was epic Manas. Main quote
which all Kyrgyz people remember is “Atan Manas, Elin Kyrgyz” which translated
like “Your father is Manas, your ethnos is Kyrgyz”. This quote is popular among
Kyrgyz people and make them always be proud of own nation and hero Manas. Some
Manaschy also always from generation from generation were appeared among Kyrgyz
people. It is strange fact for modern science which still rejects fact about
“Manaschy” arguing that it couldn’t be dreamed up by “Manaschy”. In their
opinion “Manaschy” is just illusion which Kyrgyz people believe. We actually
can understand their point because there was not any kind of historical mention
about epic “Manas”. Some ideas in “Manas” are fully fiction for our world. For
example; name Almanbet is not Chinese name. At the same time Islamic religion
was not existed at time when “Manas” was lived. We can find huge amount of
ideas which are fiction. However despite these facts epic “Manas” has a huge
role for live of Kyrgyz people. It make unique Kyrgyz nation from other
nations.
Akaev recommended for Kyrgyz parliament about
introduction epic “Manas” and have been achieved success. Almost all members of
parliament vote for it without any doubts. After that was created Seven
Commandments Manas. It was good idea because in this collection were humanistic
ideas like humanism, tolerance, building good relationship with other nations,
always be in harmony with nature, being patriotic of nation and always be hard
working. Akaev was first ever president who really cares about common ideology
which could be big way for development of Kyrgyz nation. After him nobody ever
try to create ideology.

In ideology of “Manas” we can see ideas which
were transferred from epic “Manas”. The idea of humanism we can meet from
episode where Manas met Almanbet with good attitude. Even Almanbet were
banished by Kazakh khan “Kokche”. Almanbet merit good respect from Kazakh khan
because he changed own religion and conquer own Chinese nation. However Kazakh
khan banishes Almanbet when he was drunk. There were some gossips that Almanbet
have relationship with young wife of Kokche. That is why Kokche by believing
for such gossips banish Almanbet from own nation. Almanbet was 40 day hungry in
way. His horse also became thin. Manas met him with good attitude and suggested
to take place in Kyrgyz nation.
Almanbet was surprised for humanistic and tolerance actions of Manas
and was agree to stay with Manas. This episode fully shows up humanism of
Kyrgyz people at that time. Another idea like building good relationship with
other nation we can met in episode where Manas was married to Kanykey. Actually
Kanykey was Tajik by nation. Her real name was Sanirabiga. This wedding ceremony really shows that
Kyrgyz people were having good relationship with other nations. Kyrgyz men
choose wife from other nations. It is great because among Kyrgyz, there were
not any stereotypes about origins of human. Even human is part of Kyrgyz
nation, Kyrgyz people never discriminate people from other nationals. Kanykey
as wife of Manas was some part lead with Kyrgyz people even she was Tajik. After
death of Manas she brings up Semetey. Even some other relatives were refused to
bring up Semetey, she get all responsibility to bring up Semetey as great Khan.
We also know about how Semetey won race competition. This episode really shows
up that good relationship with other nation will give good fruits.
Nowadays we didn’t see ideology of Manas as our
ideology. Even some Kyrgyz people reject Manas as Kyrgyz hero saying that he
didn’t exist. However in my opinion epic “Manas” consist of good ideas for
Kyrgyz people. It can teach our nation for having good human qualities. As
great philosopher Mahatma Gandy said “In order to change world, start from
you”. Moreover epic in “Manas” Kyrgyz people can obtain good human qualities.
From generation to generation Kyrgyz people were faithful for being responsive
and help to each other. For example; Kyrgyz national drunk in primitive Kyrgyz
community were free. Nobody sells white drinks. Kumis, milk and other nomadic
production were always free for all. They always take guests with good attitude
and never take price for it. It still continues in our community especially in
regions.
In conclusion I want to say few words. Epic
“Manas” is always having been as guide for Kyrgyz people to live in the world.
Even there were hunger-strike among people, they help each other. Such
qualities made create nowadays Kyrgyz republic. That is why we should be always
respectful for our past generation and keep “Manas” as ideology of Kyrgyz
people. Even like personal guide for life.
