Abstract The last months of 1880 witnessed a turning point in Kurdish history. Under the leadership of a Naqshbandi/Qadiri Shaykh, ʿUbeydullah of Nehrî, in Central Kurdistan, thousands of Iranian and Ottoman Kurds marched on Iranian Kurdistan and temporarily captured several cities in the region. Despite the uprising’s failure, the nature of their movement has long been a subject of debate among scholars and the public. This paper provides a contextual analysis of several letters of Shaykh ʿUbeydullah, aiming to shed light on the agency, consciousness, and motivations of the participants in the uprising. Moreover, it explores whether this episode could be considered a nationalist uprising.
