  • Born February 2, 1909 at Zila, Punjab), Had His Early Education at Khalsa High School, Muktsar and Got His M.Sc
    MOHINDER SINGH RANDHAWA A Multifaceted Personality Mohinder Singh Randhawa (born February 2, 1909 at Zila, Punjab), had his early education at Khalsa High School, Muktsar and got his M.Sc. in Botany from the Government College, Lahore. He was selected for Indian Civil Service (ICS) in 1934 and was allotted to Uttar Pradesh cadre. Sardar Patel during the partlition posted him as Deputy Commissioner, Delhi. As Deputy Commissioner, he made all arrangements for the historic event of August 15, 1947, when at the destined hour, Pt Jawaharlal Nehru unfurled the Tricolour from the ramparts of the Red Fort in Delhi and delivered his famous “Tryst with Destiny” speech. One can well imagine the kind of responsibility of being the Deputy Commissioner of Delhi during those turbulent days when historical events of global significance were unfolding in the capital of the Republic of India. Later Dr. Randhawa was appointed Director General, Rehabilitation at Jhalandhar (Punjab) where he performed the most daunting task of rehabilitating millions left behind by the evacuees in Punjab. Dr. Randhawa was the founder Chief Commissioner of Chandigarh (Union Territory). During his tenure (1966-1968) he established the much famous Rose Garden and named it as Dr.Zakir Husain Rose Garden. He guided the plantation of flowering trees on various roadsides in the city. Dr.Randhawa has been synonymous with the beautification of Chgandigarh. It is only due to his efforts that Chandigarh is popularly known as the City Beautiful. In additon, credit for all the artistic activities in the city since 1966 goes to him, as he struggled hard to develop this town into an important art centre and in the process founded Punjab Lalit Kala Akademi, Sangeet Natak Akademi and Sahitya Akademi.

Page 2 of 399 ABSTRACT Museum Collecting and Constructions of Identity in Indian Punjab, 1947-1970 Mrinalini Venkateswaran This thesis takes an original approach to twentieth century south Asian history by linking long established research on partition and postcolonial nation building, with a new domain of enquiry and material: museum historiography and practice. If unpacking colonial museums and collecting practices revealed the workings of colonialism and the colonial state, what can studying postcolonial museums and collecting practices tell us about the nation-state? What sort of national discourse did they generate in these early years, especially when located away from the centre in a region like Indian Punjab? Collecting for a Punjab museum continued throughout the region’s unique experience of changing boundaries and polities from 1947-1966, beginning with partition, and ending with the linguistic reorganisation of states, with a phase of princely federation in between.
