Preface

The history of "Violence in the Freedom Movement of Punjab 1907-1942" has not received the attention it deserves from the historians. The averge citizen has a hazy or even erroneous notion with regard to the aims and objects of violence in achieving independence of the country.

Freedom Movement in Punjab 1905-1929 by M. C. Mittal, Political Disturbances in Punjab and Delhi, 1919, by Hari Singh, Militant Nationalism in the Punjab 1919-1935 by Kamlesh Mohan, no doubt, give a fairly detailed account of the freedom struggle of Punjab, yet none of them gives violent incidents in details. Nor any of them covers the whole period under the present study.

This whole study has been divided into nine Chapters. The First Chapter is a study of Agrarian crises and unrest in Punjab which were followed by violent incidents. The Second Chapter covers the period from the beginning of World War I to 1918. It was here that the theory of violence was given practical shape by the Ghadrites. The Third Chapter is the study of growth of mass violent movement 1918-1920. The next one reveals how a ground for organized violence was prepared. The following two chapters deal with the organized violence itself. They are followed by Chapter Seven which explains how violence in Punjab was damped. Violence disappears between 1939 and 1942, as the Eighth Chapter would reveal. The last one is the summing up of the whole.

The study is based almost wholly on the contemporary and primary sources which include published and unpublished records of the Government of India and the Punjab Govern- ment, Proceedings of the Home Department, Political, Judicial, Foreign, Irrigation, Immigration, Fortnightly reports on Punjab newspapers, Administrative reports, Private papers, C. I. D. reports, Conspiracy cases and the other secret consultations.
