Synopsis The Partition of the Punjab, 1849-1947 by : Prem Vati Ghai
Illustrations: 9 B/w Illustrations and 2 Maps Description: The kingdom of Punjab founded by Maharaja Ranjit Singh was short lived and passed into the hands of the British within a decade of his death in June 1839. The Partition of the Punjab, treats the history of Punjab from 1849 to 1947. Important events which changed the history of India and the effect these events had on Punjab are dealt with in detail. During the upheaval of 1857, Punjab stood solidly behind the British and enabled them to recapture Delhi. The century of British rule in Punjab brought peace and prosperity to its people. This in turn brought a change in the religious attitude of its people leading to the founding of the Arya Samaj. During the freedom struggle Punjab gave Lala Lajpat Rai and a host of others who gladly sacrificed all they had for a united India. April 13 is an unforgettable date for the people of Punjab; for it was on that day in 1919 that General Dyer ordered the massacre of people, who had assembled at Jallianwala Bagh in Amritsar, to protest against the deportation Dr. Kitchlaw. All these and many more incidents are described in vivid detail. A chapter on the aftermath of partition is also added. This book will be of great help to those interested in the history of freedom movement and to others who want to know the complete history of Punjab during the century before partition.

Synopsis Colonial Punjab and Its Partition by : Gurprit Singh
Punjab was generally called 'the Lahore Province' or 'the Lahore Kingdom', after the name of the capital city during the Sikh Reign of Maharaja Ranjit Singh. The Lahore Kingdom stretched from Sutlej in the east to the Khyber Pass in the west.The British had arrived in India in the second half of the 18th century but it was only in 1849 that they could annex Punjab, a full 92 years after the fall of Plassey to them.After the Mutiny of 1857, Delhi and Hissar of present Haryana was added to the Punjab Province. From the Punjab, the areas to the west beyond the Indus were separated in 1901 and a separate province NWFP (presently KPK) was formed.Great development of Punjab took place under the British, particularly the building of canals and extension of Irrigation facilities. A lot of Punjabi youth especially from North Punjab benefitted as they were recruited for the Army.Under the viceroy Lord Curzon and in 1912, the capital Delhi was separated from the Punjab. Under the British rule, it came to be called 'the Province of the Punjab'.When the call for Swadeshi was made, Punjabi youth abroad got involved in the Ghadar movement and the Jallianwala Bagh Massacre further distanced the Punjabis from the British. During the second world War, Muslim League found it opportune moment to create Pakistan. The Sikh-Muslim relations had deteriorated already after the Shaheedgunj Mosque/gurdwara controversy. The March riots of Rawalpindi and Northern Punjab saw an exodus of 500,000 Non-Muslims towards East before 15th August. The Post-partition months saw savage killings of minorities on both sides of the Punjab and by 1948, the ethnic cleansing of Punjab was over.

Synopsis 1947 The Partition Of Punjab by : Gary singh
This book is about partition of punjab in 1947 and its after story. In 1947 British India was divided into two parts, one of which was the Punjab. It's no surprise that a poet from Jhang, Pakistan's Punjab province, laments the loss of beauty. He claims that in exchange for vultures, which he interprets as a metaphor for death, uniformity, and ugliness, Punjab had to give up much of its culture and a large number of its people, including many beautiful maidens. This couplet was sent with me by a Punjabi Muslim woman from Jhang, who grieved the loss of diversity in partitioned Punjab.

Synopsis The Garrison State by : Tan Tai Yong
Following the Mutiny of 1857, various factors impelled the British to turn to the province of Punjab in north-western India as the principal recruiting ground for the Indian Army. This book examines the processes by which the politics and political economy of colonial Punjab was militarised by the province`s position as the `sword arm` of the Raj. The militarisation of the administration in the Punjab was characterised by a conjunction of the military, civil and political authorities. This led to the emergence of a uniquely civil-military regime, a phenomenon that was not replicated anywhere else in British India, indeed in the Empire. Analysing these events, this book: - Studies the manner in which the Punjab became the main recruiting ground for the Indian Army - Looks at how certain districts were selected for military recruitment, and the factors motivating the `military classes` among the Punjabis to join the Army - Discusses the effects of the First World War on the recruitment process in the Punjab - Highlights the role the civil-military regime played in the politics of the Punjab, its survival after the Second World War and the manner in which it handled the demand for Pakistan and the subsequent partitioning of the province.
