According to historical sources cited by Bekbubü Asankulova, a public figure from Kaindy, Kurama Boshko uulu played a crucial role in safeguarding the population during the mid-19th century.
Leadership during the Kokand Khanate era
Following the death of his father, Boshko bii, the people elected Kurama as the volost administrator (bolush) of the western part of the Chuy Valley. His tenure was marked by the difficult dual power system of the Kokand Khanate, which frequently subjected the local population to raids and enslavement.
Asankulova noted that Kurama Boshko uulu used his wisdom and negotiation skills to protect residents from heavy slavery and bloodshed, attempting to find common ground with the Kokand authorities to prevent the seizure of livestock and the abduction of men.
The era of oppression eventually led to a confrontation. Baytik Baatyr gathered Kyrgyz warriors, including Kurama and his sons, resulting in the execution of the Kokand ruler Rakhmatullo in Pishpek.
