Muslim politics in the Punjab 1919 to 1947
Maharshi Dayanand University

Summary:
In the present work, it is my endeavour to
discuss the growth of the Muslim politics in the
Punjab from 1919 to 1947. The study of this period
forms an important and interesting subject of research for a variety of reasons.
The period from 1919 to 1947 marks an important
phase in the history of the Punjab. At the close of
the World War I in 1919, the Punjab was passing through
a very critical period. The passage of the MontaguChelmsford Reforms, the Rowlatt Bills and Jallianwala
Bagh tragedy created anarchy in the province. On one
hand, there was a show of the Hindu-Muslim unity and,
on the other hand, communalism took roots because of
the grant of the communal electorates under the MontaguChelmsford Reforms. Side by side, the Khilafat Movement
also shook the Muslims, not only of the Punjab, but of
the whole of India.
