Contents Punjab's Role in National Freedom Struggle : (Contribution of Parja Mandal Movement in erstwhile Princely States ) M. L. Ahluwalia Punjab's Role in National Freedom Struggle. Jagjiwan Mohan Walia INTRODUCTION Wi^h its galaxy of martyrs and heroes, Punjab has played historic role in National Freedom Struggle. Its record is unique in terms of sufferings and sacrifices for the independence of India, as also for its unity and integrity. The cult of the swadeshi; civil disobedience; non-co-operation; satyagraha; non-violent resistence, and other similar concepts of the Gandhian praxis had their first appearance and trial in Punjab. Kuka movement, Singh Sab'ha awakening; peasant uprising; Ghadar movement; Gurdwara reform struggle; Akali agitation; Babar Akali movement; Anti-Rowlatt Bills crusade; Khilafat upsurge; non-co-operation movement; activities of the revolutionaries; Praja Mandal movement; Quit India agitation — all these reflect Punjab's leading role in the freedom struggle.

PUNJAB'S ROLE IN NATIONAL FREEDOM STRUGGLE WITH SPECIAL REFERENCE TO PRAJA MANDAL MOVEMENT IN ERSTWHILE PRINCELY STATES Punjab's role in the freedom struggle of the country has been unique in many ways, even if one were to exclude here a reference to the fact that the people of Punjab had carried out a relentless compaign against the extension of the British rule in that area for nearly half a century before the birth of the Indian National Cong­ ress itself. During which time, the Namdhari movement had even given the first trials to Swadeshi, and non-cooperation on a mass scale. And when a country-wide movement of the Indian National Cong­ ress, in the form, of non-cooperation was started by Mahatma Gandhi in 1919, the people of the Punjab had responded whole-heartedly through out the British Punjab Province, even not deterred by the declaration of material law, the massacre of hundreds of innocent people at the Jalianwala Bagh in Amritsar, and in the face of un- relenting reign of terror let loose by the British in the length and breadth of the Province. So much so, that when in 1923 Mahatama Gandhi had suddenly withdrawn the Non-Cooperation Movement, after the agitationists at Chaura Chauri in Bihar had burnt alive teii police constables in retaliation, the Ghadarites the Bharat Nau- Jawan Sabha, the Kirti Kisan Party and the Babbar Akalis, carried on the struggle on their own. In the process Punjab had come al­ most first in the role of honours of its martyrs led by Shahid Bhagat Singh and produced as many nationalist leaders of all India eminence, as any other British Province in India could boast of: such as Lala Lajpat Rai called the Punjab Kaisari, Baba Kharak Singh, called the uncrowned King of Punjab, Bhai Parmanand, Lala Hardyal, Barkatullaha, Dr. A. D. Kitchlew, to mention only a few. It was also on the patriotic soil of the Punjab where the Indian National Congress had adopted at Lahore in 1929 the revolutionary resolution of Puran Swaraj, as against the demand of a Dominion Status, claimed by the Motilal Nehru Committee Report of 1928. • •• r ? • *\ f • It is a matter of great significance that in the process even the people of the Princely States of the Punjab did mfr lag behind. Since this aspect of the freedom struggle in Punjab has not been ... r * ' 2 fully explored by the scholars, therefore, the Government of Punjab thought it proper that the role of the Praja Mandal Movement in the Punjab States be highlighted as a part of the Archives-Week Programme of this year. Before dealing with the main theme it may be necessary to ap­ pend here a few paras to explain as to why a separate organisation or platform like the Praja Mandals or the States Peoples' Conference "were necessary to carry on the struggle for India's Freedom from the British Yoke. This was necessary because constitutionally speaking during the days of the British Raj, there were two Indians. One was the British India, which was ruled and administered direct- ly by the British Government through the agency of the Governor- General in Council at the Centre and the Governors in the British Provinces. By the side of British India, there existed a Princely India which comprised of a conglomeration of nearly five hundred Prin­ cely States and Chief ships which as a result of many historical factors enjoyed varying degrees of sovereign authority over their people, as was conceded to them by the Suzerain authority of the British Crown from time to time. This Suzerain authority was administer- ed through the Governor-General, who for this purpose was desig­ nated as the Viceroy or the Deputy of the British Crown in India. At the centre, a separate Department called the Political Depart- ment controlled the affairs of the Princely States through the agency of Residents and Political Agents depending upon the status of each Princely State or a group of such States. Very often, the Commis- sioner or a Deputy Commissioner of the British Provinces in which area, small chiefships existed, also functioned as a Political Agent to administer the relations between those chiefs and the Viceroy. This was so because the offices of the Governor-General and the Viceroy were vested in the same person and authority. Because of this constitutional anarchism the Indian National Congress decided at its Bombay Session held in 1927, that the struggle in the Princely States for constitutional and socio-economic reforms should be taken up by the Praja Mandals to be set up in each State under the over- w all control and direction of an All India body which came to be known as the All India States Peoples' Conference. This body was 3 set up in 1927 itself and functioned as an ndian National Congress. The People of the Punjab States, who had by that time become politically conscious as a result of the activities of the Indian National Congress and the local parties like the Akalis, the Ghadar party, the Kirti Kisan party and others, at once responded to the clarion call of the Congress and set up a Provincial branch of the All India States Peoples' Conference at Lahore in 1928. The head­ quarters of this States Peoples' Conference had to be set up at Lahore because of two reasons. One was that following the Province-wise agitation against the enactment of the Rowlatt Act since 1919, and the simultaneous launching of the Gurdwara Reform Movement, the Princely States of Punjab had practically banned all types of politi- cal activities within the States. Secondly, because of the attempt made to extend the Gurdwara Reform Movement to the Sikh States in Punjab as examplified by the launching of the Jaitu morcha by the Akalis, which was in the erstwhile Nabha State, all these States, viz., Patiala Nabha, Jind, Faridkot and Kapurthala were put under extra political vigilance of the Political Department, as well as by. their respective rulers. No ruler could dare to follow any other than repressive policy, as was seen by the example set by the British in dethroning Maharaja Ripudaman Singh of Nabha for the simple fault of having aroused the suspicion of the Political Depart­ ment for his extraordinary frank view on his sovereign status. More also, the dubious role of the Maharaja of Patiala in the Gurdwara Reform Movement had made him very unpopular with the Sikh masses. FORMATION OF THE RIYASTI PRAJA MANDAL The formal decision to start a Praja Mandal movement was taken in a convention of political and social workers held in the M was given a formal shape on 10th August, 1928, in a meeting held on 10th August, 1928 at Amritsar in the office of the Akali Dal. At this meeting the Riyasti Praja Mandal decided among things on a programme of action and also that the movement be restricted not only to the few Sikh States but it should be extended in stages to all the States and 4 chief ships in Punjab, namely, Bahawalpur, Pataudi, Loharu> Nahan, Mandi, Suket, Bilaspur, Chamba and others, and even up to Jammu and Kashmir. COMMON PROGRAMME DRAWN UP In this meeting a common programme of action was also decid­ ed upon which included,—(1) Curtailment of Privy purses and privi­ leges of the Princes; (2) democratisation of legislatures where- ever these existed and setting up of similar popularly elected bodies where (3) from cutive; (4) abolition of begar or forced labour; (5) abolition of Nazul aws 1m making tenancy laws more equitable; (8) opening of more grant of freedom of association and freedom of Press, et< MOVEMENT STARTS FROM PATIALA * Since Patiala was the largest and most influential State in the eastern Punjab and Haryana region and as sueh was a pace-setter for other Princely States, it was in Patiala that the Praja Mandal movement was first started and also tested for its ability to stand up and face an autocratic government.

  • FOREWORD the Need to Prepare a Clear and Comprehensive Document
    FOREWORD The need to prepare a clear and comprehensive document on the Punjab problem has been felt by the Sikh community for a very long time. With the release of this White Paper, the S.G.P.C. has fulfilled this long-felt need of the community. It takes cognisance of all aspects of the problem-historical, socio-economic, political and ideological. The approach of the Indian Government has been too partisan and negative to take into account a complete perspective of the multidimensional problem. The government White Paper focusses only on the law and order aspect, deliberately ignoring a careful examination of the issues and processes that have compounded the problem. The state, with its aggressive publicity organs, has often, tried to conceal the basic facts and withhold the genocide of the Sikhs conducted in Punjab in the name of restoring peace. Operation Black Out, conducted in full collaboration with the media, has often led to the circulation of one-sided versions of the problem, adding to the poignancy of the plight of the Sikhs. Record has to be put straight for people and posterity. But it requires volumes to make a full disclosure of the long history of betrayal, discrimination, political trickery, murky intrigues, phoney negotiations and repression which has led to blood and tears, trauma and torture for the Sikhs over the past five decades. Moreover, it is not possible to gather full information, without access to government records. This document has been prepared on the basis of available evidence to awaken the voices of all those who love justice to the understanding of the Sikh point of view.

  • The Sikh Dilemma: the Partition of Punjab 1947
    The Sikh Dilemma: The Partition of Punjab 1947 Busharat Elahi Jamil Abstract The Partition of India 1947 resulted in the Partition of the Punjab into two, East and West. The 3rd June Plan gave a sense of uneasiness and generated the division of dilemma among the large communities of the British Punjab like Muslims, Hindus and Sikh besetting a holocaust. This situation was beneficial for the British and the Congress. The Sikh community with the support of Congress wanted the proportion of the Punjab according to their own violation by using different modules of deeds. On the other hand, for Muslims the largest populous group of the Punjab, by using the platform of Muslim League showed the resentment because they wanted the decision on the Punjab according to their requirements. Consequently the conflict caused the world’s bloodiest partition and the largest migration of the history. Introduction The Sikhs were the third largest community of the United Punjab before India’s partition. The Sikhs had the historic religious, economic and socio-political roots in the Punjab. Since the annexation of the Punjab, they were faithful with the British rulers and had an influence in the Punjabi society, even enjoying various privileges. But in the 20th century, the Muslims 90 Pakistan Vision Vol. 17 No. 1 Independence Movement in India was not only going to divide the Punjab but also causing the division of the Sikh community between East and West Punjab, which confused the Sikh leadership. So according to the political scenarios in different timings, Sikh leadership changed their demands and started to present different solutions of the Sikh enigma for the geographical transformation of the province.

    P: ISSN NO.: 2394-0344 RNI No.UPBIL/2016/67980 VOL-1* ISSUE-10* January- 2017 E: ISSN NO.: 2455-0817 Remarking An Analisation Education in the Phulkian States Abstract The question of education has been one of those live problems which always aroused passion of interest in India. The Phulkian rulers made progressive efforts in this direction. First regular school was opened in Patiala in 1860 and in 1870 regular department of education was established. Primary education was made free in the state in 1911. Alongside of the primary education the scope of middle and high school education was also enlarges. Patiala was among the first few cities of the Punjab which could legitimately boast of a degree college. The first notable attempt at modernising education in the Nabha State was made by Raja Bharpur Singh in 1863 A.D. when he established a school in Nabha itself with one teacher for English and another for Arabic and Persion. In 1890 a separate cantonment school at Nabha was opened in which English, Gurumukhi, Persian and other subjects were taught. In Nabha State by 1917, the number rose to 15 schools for boys and two for girls. Attention was also paid towards adult education and technical education. Scholarships and stipends were introduced to encourage promising students of the state to acquire college education. Similarly in Jind State, the number of primary schools rose to 47 in 1945, Maharaja Ranbir Singh had made primary education free in the schools of the State since 1912. The rulers of the Phulkian States of Patiala, Nabha, and Jind showed enough interest in the development of education in their respective states.

Sir, you are aware that under article 356 of the Constitu!io;i, administration of the State of Punjab wns taken over by Ihe President of India, and as a consequence of that pro- clamation and Act made by the President of India, Parliament is benig asked to pass the Punjab Appropriation Bill. As we have seen, since 6th October, 1983, when the President's Rule was imposed in Punjab, the state of affairs which has developed in Punjab has become a national problem. The other day, my esteemed colleague Mr. Darbara Singh had rightly stated that the problem of Punjab was not a problem of Punjab alone; it was a national problem. Sir, in Punjab, when, the Slate administra- tion was taken over by the President of India, it was stated that in order to help overcome the impasse the State was under- going, the imposition of President's Rule was essential. So the State Government was dismissed, though the State Legislative Assembly was not dissolved. Naturally, it was taken for granted, when the State Government was dismissed that the State Government was not capable of handling the situation obtaining at that time. But. after that, we saw a new set of Govern- ors with a new set of advisers, the police directors, etc. All these people were com- missioned for handling the Punjab situa- tion.
