D Research Scholar, Centre for South and Central Asian Studies, School of Global Relations, Central University of Punjab, Bathinda (India). Email-scabhupinder@gmail.com Abstract Ever since its accession in 1849, Punjab had been received explicit attention in the colonial policies on account of its strategic and political importance to the British Empire. The colonial rule had brought a slew of transformations in the diverse fields such as education, agriculture, transport and communication and social institutions. The building of military infrastructure in Punjab was one of them, which got the primary position in the military calculus of British empire. It had played very crucial role in the maintaining, sustaining and escalating the colonial rule at various places. After the 1857 revolt, Punjab had acquired a significant place in the British geostrategic calculus and became a gargantuan recruitment ground for the British Indian Army. Thus, geostrategic importance and impending attack from the Russian Empire, so called the Great Game obligated the British Empire to focus on the military infrastructure with allied institutions in the region. Thus, Punjab had not only been as a major center of recruitment of British Indian Army; rather it became the network hub of several military cantonments and Firozpur is one of them. Firozpur had a pivotal role not only in strengthening the empire; rather it played a foundational role in turning Firozpur into a modern city, transforming its social- economic perspective. The aim of the present work is to investigate the multiple, and complex transformations took place in Firozpur city due to its cantonmentization, particularly during the colonial rule. Keywords: Colonialism, Punjab Annexation, Firozpur Cantonment, Transport, Trade and communication Transformations. Introduction Military and empire building had remained inexplicable interwoven throughout the recorded history. At the beginning of the colonial period, military troops had predominantly recruited International Research Journal of Management Sociology & Humanities ( IRJMSH ) Page 37 www.irjmsh.com IRJMSH Vol 9 Issue 3 [Year 2018] ISSN 2277 – 9809 (0nline) 2348–9359 (Print) from the home country, but with the expansion of empire, local recruitment had started.1 By the mid of eighteen century, these troops had been directly recruited by the East India Company. During the Indian Revolt of 1857, a considerable number of sepoys had rebelled against the company, which led to the end of company rule in India (The Government of India Act 1858). With the end of the company rule, structural changes in the British India Army took place in India, i.e., end of the ‘Bengalisation’ and launched the ‘Punjabization’ of the British Indian Army. The Punjabis, Rajput’s, Jats, Baluchis and other "Martial Races" were making up the bulk of the British Indian Army.2 These martial races had played very significant role in World Wars as well as local battles to expand the British Colonial Empire. The British rule in Indian sub-continent was also important as it brought new systems of military mobilization, modernization, and well established military installations. In another major study, renowned military historian, Rahmani (2011) had found that the military training institutions had developed. The forces were reorganized under the British troops and provided with modern arms and ammunitions. It had a definite advantage for the Raj as it was not only sustained and maintained the British Indian Empire, but the British Indian Army had also used to fight the First and Second World Wars. The British policy for mobilizing and stationing military throughout the Indian sub- continent was not the same. But it had shown a significant amount of regional variation, depending on the peculiar strategic demands and perceived fighting spirits available in certain regions and people. It had resulted in region specific military histories in Indian sub-continent. For the given of military infrastructure and massive recruitments benefited such regions, due to the spillover effect of militarization.3 Against this background, Punjab had got a special space in the British geostrategic calculus. Great military historian of Pakistan, Mahmood (2016) had admitted that Punjab a typical case is in point, had been transformed into a garrison state coincided with a process called 'De-Bengalisation' and 'Punjabization' of British Indian Army.4 Further another expert of Punjab’s military history, Barkwi (2006) hasargued that it further had played a very crucial role in maintaining and expanding the British Empire especially during the World Wars at various ‘Theatres of the War’ but also brought allied transformations like urbanization, irrigation, 1Leigh M.

Talbot (2007: 2-4), demonstrated that due to its strategic location and the perception of an impending attack from the Russian Empire under the dynamics of the ‘Great Game,' Punjab had been given an important place in the British defense strategy.6Omissi (1988: 65-66) has also admitted the above viewpoint and argued that the modernisation and a new wave of development were the strategies adopted by the British to make the people of Punjabi people more loyal towards the British rule.7 Talbot (2007) and Mahmood (2016) had admitted that for the given of the threats from the Russian Empire through the Central Asia, the British had given a pivotal role to Punjab in their strategic and tactical strategies. Punjab’s loyalty during the 1857 revolt, had earned the more attention of the British Indian Empire. The British found out that Punjab had been very open in providing irregular military support to the British whenever it is required.8To prevent the invader from entering into India through the West, the British expanded its military infrastructure in Punjab. The military cantonments that mushroomed in Punjab from the 1830s onwards were the corollary of the perceived threats emanating from the Western frontier. A series of cantonments had established in Punjab such as Firozpur, Lahore, Ludhiana, Jalandhar, Peshawar, Ambala, Kanpur, Bathinda, Rawalpindi, etc.9 Punjab had become an asset for the British Empire, given of its people'sloyalty, bravery, warlike qualities. Hence, it became animportant outpost for strategic infrastructure, installations, etc. Grewal (2009) accepted that these cantonments10 built by the empire had proved an asset in 5Barkawi T, (2006).

In South Asia region, cantonments embraced as a permanent station of military equipment’s and personnel. It is also admitted that Most of cantonments in the world have found in Bangladesh, India, Pakistan, South Africa, Singapore, Ghana, Sri Lanka and Nepal.

  • SPATIAL DISTRIBUTION of AGEING POPULATION in PUNJAB Ram
    SRJIS/BIMONTHLY/RAM SHARN (3233-3240) SPATIAL DISTRIBUTION OF AGEING POPULATION IN PUNJAB Ram Sharn Assist. Prof. Baba Farid College, Bathinda Abstract Studying ageing population has traditionally been the domain of gerontologists. Consequently, most of research on ageing population has centered on health related issues and policy. In this research work we are fundamentally concerned with the geographical dimensions of aging population. The spatial pattern of ageing is based on crude birth rate, total fertility rate and life expectancy and migration processes. As life expectancy grows and fertility rates decline, senior citizens will make up an ever-larger share of the total population. The effect of this demographic shift will be staggering. „It will come with a whopping price tag, which will place a massive burden on an ever smaller working- age population‟ (Peterson, 1999). It focuses on population ageing, exploring where and why of spatial pattern of ageing population. The approach of analysing spatial trends in one particular age group is adopted in this study as it provides a useful and relevant platform for negotiating the broader theoretical and methodological debate in human geography. Key Words: Crude Birth rate, Total Fertility rate, Spatial distribution, Ageing Population, Scholarly Research Journal's is licensed Based on a work at www.srjis.com Introduction It further develops the connection between population Geography and social theory through examining the patterns, causes and implications of spatial unevenness in population ageing. After 1921 Punjab moved into the second phase of demographic transition charactrised by virtually persistent high birth rate but steadily decline death rate. The drop in mortality was associated with control over famines, check over epidemics and epidemics diseases such as plague, cholera small pox and malaria and fall and fall in infant mortality rate, natural increase rate of population was thus marking up-ward trends.

  • Human Development Report 2004
    Punjab HDR Punjab is at a more advanced stage of development than most other Indian states. However, the remarkable achievements of the state have not been equitable. Amidst prosperity, pockets of deprivation remain among sections and areas. This report is an important research-cum-policy document, which focuses on the current levels of achievement, as well as areas of concern and possible ways of progress with reference to crucial socio-economic indicators.

Foreword I am very pleased to introduce the first Human Development Report for Punjab. Human development is defined by the United Nations Development Programme as enlarging the range of people’s choices. The most critical of these wide ranging choices are to live a long and healthy life, be educated and to have access to resources required for decent standard of living. Punjab has the distinction of being one of the most prosperous state in the country. India’s transition from a food importing country to a country not only self-sufficient in food grains but as a food exporter, is in large measure a success of the Green Revolution spearheaded by Punjab. The state also has high levels of achievement in education and health sectors.
