Punjab 1998: Political and Socio-Economic Developments

Mohinder Singh (Editor)

Synopsis Because of a variety of reasons Punjab has been and continues to attract attention from scholars and media at home and abroad. While geographical boundaries of Punjab have been changing with the March of events, its sturdy people have displayed rare sense of resilience during various ups and downs in their long and chequered history. Because of their adventurous and enterprising spirit they have not only spread to various parts of India but have made a place for themselves in various other countries as well. The Punjabi diaspora, especially in the United Kingdom and the United States, has created 'Mini Punjab' in foreign lands. All this has resulted in greater attention towards research and led to establishment of various institutions and chairs of Punjabi studies. With a view to facilitate research in different areas of Punjab and providing ready reference to scholars and others interested in Punjab, the National Institute of Panjab Studies has taken up various research projects. In its publication programme the Institute has started the present series "Punjab: Political and Socio-Economic Developments". The series provides precise, authentic and unbiased information on political, social, economic, cultural and religious developments in Punjab. It is a comprehensive and detailed account of day-to-day events arranged chronologically subject-wise. The volume records major happenings during the year, including role of happenings during the year, including role of political parties and other institutions. It is hoped that the volume would be of help to those interested in Punjab in general and scholars working on different areas of Punjab studies in particular.
