Tajik people
From 1932–33, Mirshakar served as the editor of the newspaper "Sokhtmoni Vakhsh". He wrote narrative poems glorifying historic events in the life of the Tajik people after the 1917 October Revolution. Mirshakar was considered one of the founders of Tajik children's literature. His writings for children were the subject of the doctoral thesis of literary critic Jonon Bobokalonova.
