  • 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.

  • Changing Caste Relations and Emerging Contestations in Punjab
    CHANGING CASTE RELATIONS AND EMERGING CONTESTATIONS IN PUNJAB PARAMJIT S. JUDGE When scholars and political leaders characterised Indian society as unity in diversity, there were simultaneous efforts in imagining India as a civilisational unity also. The consequences of this ‘imagination’ are before us in the form of the emergence of religious nationalism that ultimately culminated into the partition of the country. Why have I started my discussion with the issue of religious nationalism and partition? The reason is simple. Once we assume that a society like India could be characterised in terms of one caste hierarchical system, we are essentially constructing the discourse of dominant Hindu civilisational unity. Unlike class and gender hierarchies which are exist on economic and sexual bases respectively, all castes cannot be aggregated and arranged in hierarchy along one axis. Any attempt at doing so would amount to the construction of India as essentially the Hindu India. Added to this issue is the second dimension of hierarchy, which could be seen by separating Varna from caste. Srinivas (1977) points out that Varna is fixed, whereas caste is dynamic. Numerous castes comprise each Varna, the exception to which is the Brahmin caste whose caste differences remain within the caste and are unknown to others. We hardly know how to distinguish among different castes of Brahmins, because there is complete absence of knowledge about various castes among them. On the other hand, there is detailed information available about all the scheduled castes and backward classes. In other words, knowledge about castes and their place in the stratification system is pre- determined by the enumerating agency.

  • Electoral Politics in Punjab : from Autonomy to Secession
    ELECTORAL POLITICS IN PUNJAB : FROM AUTONOMY TO SECESSION Fifty years of electoral history of Punjab has been intermeshed with issues relating to competing identities, regional autonomy and the political perception of threat and need paradox of democratic institutions. These issues together or separately have influenced the dynamics of electoral politics. The articulation of these issues in various elections has been influenced by the socio-economic and political context. Not only this, even the relevance of elections has depended on its capacity to seek resolution of conflicts emanating from interactive relationship of these factors. These broad boundaries found expression in electoral discourse in four distinct phases i.e. pre- reorganisation from 1947 to 1966, reorganisation phase from 1966 to 1980, terrorism phase from 1980 and 1992 and post-terrorism from 1992 onwards. Historically, social mobilisations and political articulation have also taken diverse forms. These assertions can be categorised under three main headings, i.e. communal, caste or religion; secular or strata based. All these competing identities have been co-existing. For instance, Punjab had, a culture and a language which transcended religious group boundaries, a unified politico-administrative unit and specialised modern technology, which initiated the integration process of the diverse religious, caste and other ascriptive group identities. Inspite of the historical process of formulation and reformulation of the composite linguistic cultural consciousness, the tendency to evolve a unified sub-nationality with a common urge for territorial integrity remained weak in Punjab. On the contrary, politics mobilised people along communal lines resulting in the partition in 1947 and division in 1966 of the Punjabi speaking people.

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106-1346 TWtses F <1400 I Abstract Religion and Nationalism in India: The Case of Punjab,1960 -1995 The research examines the factors which account for the emergence of ethno-nationalist movements in multi-ethnic and late industrialising societies such as India. The research employs a historical sociological approach to the study of nationalism. Opening with an interrogation of the classic theories of nationalism, the research shows the Eurocentric limitations of these works. By providing an account of the distinctive nature and development of Indian nationalism, it is maintained that the nature, growth, timing and scope of nationalist movements is affected by the level of development and the nature of the state and society in which they emerge. Using the theoretical framework developed here, the theses seeks to explain the nature and timing of breakaway movements in the Indian subcontinent.
