Nusrat Hussain i Abstract This study deals with the factors which determined the nature of governance and politics in the Punjab during 1947 to 1955. It is a descriptive case study with qualitative data analysis by using historical comparative techniques. The theory of authoritarianism is applied to understand the rationale behind. The data reveal four major patterns in the politics of the Punjab. They are, first the performance of provincial ministries while tackling of major issues like refugee rehabilitation, the dealing with the evacuee property, elections, food shortage, Qadiani issue, constitution making. Second, the governor ministry relations, third, the Centre province power sharing, and fourth party and factional activities at provincial level. The Punjab was able to rehabilitate millions of refugees in its early years. After the evacuation of its main economic, administrative, and skilled non-Muslim force, it managed to restart successfully. Law and order was achieved slowly, but pattern client attitude of elite created hurdles to fortify it. Corruption and nepotism could not be eradicated. Acute contradiction between the ministry and the governor occurred twice, first between Premier Mamdot and Governor Mudie on the issues of rehabilitation, and administrative, and second between Chief Minister Noon and Governor Gurmani on the One Unit and elections of Constituent Assembly Pakistan. The Centre continued to take hold of powers while dealing the issues related to the Concurrent List of the constitution. All three ministries of Mamdot, Doltana, and Noon were dismissed by Central government. However, it was the provincial government which provided the excuse to Central government. The sense of insecurity among Central leadership from the Punjab was shared by the provincial leadership while dealing the issues related to constitution making. Consequently the Punjab cooperated to establish One Unit, and agreed to less than its due share. The provincial party Presidents infamously indulged in disputes with premiers, and tried to pressurize them. Poor decisions related to food shortage and Qadiani issue effected governments at both levels. The middle class leadership of the party was cleverly cornered by the landed elite when beneficial positions were divided, as happened in the case of Molvi Bari. The Punjab League remained the single potential political party during the early eight years. Jinnah Muslim League performed well, but its president Mamdot refused to take the risk, and party was separated from Awami League leaving it to be the only ‘Bengali’ party. The leadership, failed to distinguish between the role of worker in the struggle for independence and to serve as a ruler, consequently, poor performance was the outcome. To improve the performance and inculcate the democratic norms in both the leadership and public, political socialization should be improved through better education, improved political participation, and quality debate. ii Abbreviations QP Quaid-i-Azam Papers CAP Constituent Assembly of Pakistan CCI Council of Common Interest CMG Civil and Military Gazette (newspaper) GoP Government of Pakistan GoPb.

  • The Role of Deobandi Ulema in Strengthening the Foundations of Indian Freedom Movement (1857-1924)
    The Role of Deobandi Ulema in Strengthening the Foundations of Indian Freedom Movement (1857-1924) The Role of Deobandi Ulema in Strengthening the Foundations of Indian Freedom Movement (1857-1924) * Turab-ul-Hassan Sargana **Khalil Ahmed ***Shahid Hassan Rizvi Abstract The main objective of the present study is to explain the role of the Deobandi faction of scholars in Indian Freedom Movement. In fact, there had been different schools of thought who supported the Movement and their works and achievements cannot be forgotten. Historically, Ulema played a key role in the politics of subcontinent and the contribution of Dar ul Uloom Deoband, Mazahir-ul- Uloom (Saharanpur), Madrassa Qasim-ul-Uloom( Muradabad), famous madaris of Deobandi faction is a settled fact. Their role became both effective and emphatic with the passage of time when they sided with the All India Muslim League. Their role and services in this historic episode is the focus of the study in hand. Keywords: Deoband, Aligarh Movement, Khilafat, Muslim League, Congress Ulama in Politics: Retrospect: Besides performing their religious obligations, the religious ulema also took part in the War of Freedom 1857, similar to the other Indians, and it was only due to their active participation that the movement became in line and determined. These ulema used the pen and sword to fight against the British and it is also a fact that ordinary causes of 1857 War were blazed by these ulema. Mian Muhammad Shafi writes: Who says that the fire lit by Sayyid Ahmad was extinguished or it had cooled down? These were the people who encouraged Muslims and the Hindus to fight against the British in 1857.

The cities marked as Lahore, Peshawar and Quetta are the provincial capitals of Punjab, NWFP and Baluchistan respectively. Karachi was the provincial capital of Sind as well as the capital of Pakistan in 1956. The silver line at the top of West Pakistan demaracates the disputed area, Kashmir. East Pakistan laid across India and had Dacca/Dhaka as the provincial capital. 3 Acknowledgements First of all I would like to thank my supervisor and mentor Professor Stefan Voigt for all the guidance that he provided. After 3 years of research when I look back at my initial documents, they seem embarrassingly inadequate and I once again marvel at the patience he showed while reading them. He not only read those documents but appreciated and encouraged me every step of the way. His guidance was so complete that I was able to finish my project in time and in a satisfactory manner despite many odds.

  • Political Economy of Idenity Formation, 1890- 1910: Class and Community in Colonial Punjab
    Political Economy of Idenity Formation, 1890- 1910: Class and Community in Colonial Punjab * Haider Ali Agha Abstract This paper analyses the rise of Muslim communal consciousness from the perspective of class conflict between different religious communities of this region. Punjab, being a Muslim majority province of British India, had agricultural and pastoral economy, notwithstanding the fact that colonial projects such as building of railways and canal colonies later radically altered pre-capitalist economic structure. British political and legal institutions along with these projects played a role in shaping and formation of group identity although it could not transform the consciousness which was distinctive of agrarian-pastoral society. The kind of nationalism which originated and developed on soil of the Punjab was professedly of religious nature. In the social milieu, rival religious communities vied for political and economic dominance. This paper seeks to explore the relation between class interest of landed elites and Muslim nationalist consciousness. The idea of religious nationalism, both among Hindus and Muslims, was developed and exploited by powerful elites representing economic interests of different classes to strengthen their political position in the Punjab. The paper also analyses how economic structure built by colonial state sharpened the antagonism between social classes of Muslim and non-Muslim 106 Pakistan Vision Vol. 17 No. 2 communities which eventually led to idea of Muslim separatism in the Punjab. Introduction This rise and growth of consciousness of Muslims as a distinct community in the Punjab has been a focus of researches by eminent native and foreign historians. Most of those, who conducted the research on this area, have either studied this phenomenon as the product of pre-existing communal fault lines or from a perspective of colonial policy of divide et impera.

  • India Muslim League – with Special Reference to All India Muslim Educational Conference
    Pakistan Perspectives Vol. 14, No. 1, January-June 2009 Notes The Intellectual and Cultural Base of the all- India Muslim League – with Special Reference to all India Muslim Educational Conference Abdul Rashid Khan* It is a known fact that an association or a party is recognized by its objectives and manifesto. However, behind the scene its key members are considered as the actual force, in this context the question of intellectual capability of the leadership becomes the point of high concern because it determines the whole sphere of activity. It seems clear that All India Muslim League took her genesis on the platform of All India Muslim Educational Conference. So a transitional as well as causal relationship form the core of the two bodies. The major object of the Conference was to disseminate western learning among the Muslims after eliminating their suspicion and doubts against their alien rulers. Although the discussion over political issues was declared out of question, yet foundation of the Conference was considered by the critics of Syed Ahmad Khan as a political strategy to counter Indian National Congress. A renowned historian writes: …in founding the educational Conference, Sir Syed was influenced, by the Indian National Congress – its programme and methods. Almost similar objects were at the back of the mind of the founder of the Conference. It was founded in order to provide a common platform for the Muslims of various provinces to come together. The object was to formulate a centre of public opinion for the entire Muhammadan ‘nation’ and then to spread those ideas among the community.1 During the first twenty years, the Conference succeeded in providing a strong base by strengthening M.A.O.

  • AK Fazlul Huq's
    1 A.K. Fazlul Huq’s ‘Rise to Power’ in Bengal Politics Bengal and the Bengalis at the very beginning of the twentieth century, were in the forefront not only in the field of introducing new philosophy, applying new methodology and generating new political ideas and consciousness among the masses but also they were playing the prominent role in launching the anti- British movements, mainly under the banner of the Indian National Congress and Bengal at that time, was thought-out to be the „nerve centre of Indian nationalism‟. Not only that, Bengal along with Punjab and Maharashtra had also become great centres of „militant nationalism‟ or „revolutionary terrorism‟. The first half of the twentieth century was considered to be much eventful in the history of Bengal as well as India with regard to the socio-economic and political changes that had occurred, influenced and completely changed the socio-political scenario of this country. The 1905 was the milestone which indicated a major turning point and momentous event not only in the history and politics of undivided Bengal but also of India. The first partition of Bengal in 1905 and its annulment in 1911, had transformed Bengal into an epicenter of Indian politics. The foundation of the All – India Muslim League (as a result of the Simla deputation of 1 October 1906 to the Viceroy Lord Minto II under the leadership of Aga Khan) in the Dacca Educational Conference on 30 December 1906 under the leadership of Nawab Salimullah of Dacca (presently Dhaka, the capital of Bangladesh) to safeguard the political rights and interests of the Muslims, to preach loyalty to the British and to further the cause of inter-communal amity was, of course, another fundamental political change which brought a section of Muslim community of Bengal to a position of active politics not only at the provincial level but also at the national level.
