Formation of Haryana - Hardcover

Formation of Haryana (Reprint)

Hardcover. Zustand: New. After Independence, it was felt that our political units lacked linguistic and cultural synthesis: they ought to be restructured mainly on the basis of language. In northern India, the Akali Dal advocated the cause for a separate Punjabi speaking State on the grounds that Punjabis have a distinctive culture and a common mother tongue. This was the beginning of the genesis of a State called Haryana. Going into the history of Haryana, Gulshan Rai has delineated details of the origin of the word 'Haryana', its land and its people. He has given a well-rounded account of the various Committees which were appointed to study the justification for the formation of Haryana and the heterogeneous factors that led to the development of the State. The author says that there was strong opposition to the idea in several sections. However, "Within Haryana a strong perception for Haryana as a region and a strong feeling of identification with it had developed." It was on the basis of the Report of the Punjabi Boundary Commission, set up on 23 April 1966, that the Union Government agreed to the formation of Haryana as a separate State. Thus Haryana came into existence on 1 November 1966. The book has been written in an extremely lucid style. It is well-researched and the author's analysis is incisive. Artikel-Nr. 150884
