Abstract: The present paper aims at highlighting some specific components of Central Asian culture which despite witnessing the onslaughts of Soviet cultural policy preserved its originality and flavour even after adopting assimilating approach during seven decades of soviet rule. The paper maintains that the changes adopted during period under study proved functional in many respects as the Post independent period registered revival of customs and traditions of pre soviet period, though soviet legacy has not been abandoned altogether.
Keywords: Culture, traditions, marriage, bride price, Kalym, Toies, funerals.
