    I THE BACKGROUND 2 1 WHY PUNJAB? Exit British, Enter Congress In 1849 the Sikh empire fell to the British army; it was the last of their conquests. Nearly a hundred years later when the British were about to relinquish India they were negotiating with three parties; namely the Congress Party largely supported by Hindus, the Muslim League representing the Muslims and the Akali Dal representing the Sikhs. Before 1849, the Satluj was the boundary between the kingdom of Maharaja Ranjit Singh and other Sikh states, such as Patiala (the largest and most influential), Nabha and Jind, Kapurthala, Faridkot, Kulcheter, Kalsia, Buria, Malerkotla (a Muslim state under Sikh protection). Territory under Sikh rulers stretched from the Peshawar to the Jamuna. Those below the Satluj were known as the Cis-Satluj states. 3 In these pre-independence negotiations, the Akalis, led by Master Tara Singh, represented the Sikhs residing in the territory which had once been Ranjit Singh’s kingdom; Yadavindra Singh, Maharaja of Patiala, spoke for the Cis- Satluj states. Because the Sikh population was thinly dispersed all over these areas, the Sikhs felt it was not possible to carve out an entirely separate Sikh state and had allied themselves with the Congress whose policy proclaimed its commitment to the concept of unilingual states with a federal structure and assured the Sikhs that “no future Constitution would be acceptable to the Congress that did not give full satisfaction to the Sikhs.” Gandhi supplemented this assurance by saying: “I ask you to accept my word and the resolution of the Congress that it will not betray a single individual, much less a community ..

  • Competitive Exams Essay: Secularism Is Simply Verbal Replacement of the Word Tolerance- Examrace
    9/17/2021 Competitive Exams Essay: Secularism is Simply Verbal Replacement of the Word Tolerance- Examrace Examrace Competitive Exams Essay: Secularism is Simply Verbal Replacement of the Word Tolerance Get top class preparation for competitive exams right from your home: get questions, notes, tests, video lectures and more- for all subjects of your exam. What is Secularism? None can give you the right definition of the term. Even the most ardent exponent of the term differs on its meanings. In fact, their zeal to institute secularism in the Indian polity has pushed the term so far away from reality that today it has come to be more of a mirage than an accepted norm. The vested interests are now using this phenomenon of mirage as a magic wand for political gains and popularity among minorities. It is ironic, not tragic, that minorities in India have come to be identified with religion and not with community or profession. This is the reason that secularism today has come to mean as preservation of religious minorities in their traditional modes. But this is not the only meaning that is attributed to ‘secularism’ There are others who consider it to mean separation of religion from state. For some secularism relegates the religion to the backyard. If you are secular you cannot put your religion to the fore. It must always come afterward. But afterward of what? Nobody can tell you that. Before we go on with what secularism means we must first find out that why the necessity arose to adopt this covenant. We do not have to go far to find the answer.

Democratic systems can not fulictioli in the absence of political parties. They work as link between state and people. Political parties contest elections and aim at capturing political power. They function as a link between people and government in a repre- sentative democracy. If a political party fails to form government, it sits in opposition. The role of the opposition party is to expose the weaknesses of the ruling party in order to strengthen tlie democratic processes.

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.

BRAR SIKH MILITANT MOVEMENT IN PUNJAB Punjab witnessed a very serious crisis of Sikh militancy during nineteen eighties till a couple of years after the formation of the Congress government in the state in 1992 under the Chief Ministership of late Beant Singh. More than thirty thousand people had lost their lives. The infamous ‘Operation Blue Star’ of 1984 in the Golden Temple, the assassination of Indira Gandhi by her Sikh bodyguards and the subsequent anti-Sikh riots left a sad legacy in the history of the country. The Sikhs, who had contributed to the freedom of the country with their lives, were dubbed as anti-national, and the age-old Hindu-Sikh unity was put on test in this troubled period. The democratic movement in the state comprising mass organizations of peasants, workers, government employees, teachers and students remained completely paralysed during this period. Some found the reason of Sikh militancy in ‘the wrong policies pursued by the central government since independence’ [Rai 1986]. Some others ascribed it to ‘an allegedly slow process of alienation among a section of the Punjab population in the past’ [Kapur 1986]. Still others trace it to ‘the rise of certain personalities committed to fundamentalist stream of thought’ [Joshi 1984:11-32]. The efforts were also made to trace its origin in ‘the socio-economic developments which had ushered in the state since the advent of the Green Revolution’ [Azad 1987:13-40].

KEHAR SINGH Reorganisation of Punjab in 1966- Its Background and Impact on State Politics Indian sub-continent was divided in 1947 in two parts, India and Pakistan, to propitate the communal demigods. The whole of non-Muslim population had to migrate to the Indian side of the border. Similarly, a large majority of the Muslims in East Punjab chose to opt for Pakistan as their fatherland. The whole-sale loot carnage and plunder perpetrated by the communities against each other in their communal frenzy is a sad proof of the devil in man and what havoc can it play if left unchained. The partition of the country solved no problem but created many. The unfulfilled aspirations of the Sikhs a minority community in the preparation and partitioned Punjab, was one of the political problems which the leadership of India had to confront with. The partition had created a new situation. The communal parties of pre- partitioned days continued to have their sway in the Punjab after the independence of India except that three pronged communal politics changed into two pronged Hindu Sikh politics. The rehabilitation of the refugees in the areas upto Ghaggar resulted in a Sikh majority in certain tehsils of East Punjab where as in the Princely States, Sikhs constituted a majority of the population. According to 1951 Census, there were 63.3 per cent Hindus an 33.4 per cent Sikhs is Pepsu. The Sikh and Hindu percentage in the population was 49.3 and 48.8 percentage of 62.3 and the Sikhs 35.

  • B. A. Part-Ii Political Science (Semester-Iv) Lesson No. 2.1 Author : Dr. Haridwar Rai Party System in India
    B. A. PART-II POLITICAL SCIENCE (SEMESTER-IV) LESSON NO. 2.1 AUTHOR : DR. HARIDWAR RAI PARTY SYSTEM IN INDIA - GENERAL FEATURES, PROBLEMS It has rightly been observed that the political parties are the lifeline of modern politics. It is regarded as axiomatic that any country which either is modern or wants to be so would channel its political life in some type of party expression. La Palombara and Myron Weiner hold that the political party is a "Creation of moden and modernizing political system." They believe that the phenomenon of political party in one form or other is omnipresent. But there is no agreement among the scholars regarding the classification of political parties. For quite some time party systems have been classified by counting the number of parties whether one, two or more than two. Recently, however, instruments of power, academic discussion of party systems have centred round the questions of the degree of competition among parties. La Palombra and Weiner propose, for the competitive party system, A four- fold classification which drops altogether the numercial base, precisely "on the assumption that the traditional distinction betwen two party and multi-party patterns has not let to sufficiently meaningful insights." The best classification yet offered seems to be that the Giovani Sartori who has intelligently put it with an eye to 'how many' and 'how strong'. The traditional three-fold division is replaced by a seven-fold taxonomy which distinguishes among the following categories of party politics— 1. One-Party system 2. Hegemonic party system 3. Predominant party system 4.
