সবধন ভরতর শখ পরচতর আনদলন: পঞজব সব আনদলনর একট সকষপত পরযলচন

A historic ethnolinguistic campaign in post-1947 India called the Punjabi Suba movement aimed to establish a province specifically for Punjabi speakers.The movement was closely linked to the Sikh community's struggle for political and cultural autonomy inside the Indian Union, even if its ostensible foundation was the idea of linguistic reorganisation.The nearly two-decade-long movement, which was spearheaded by the Shiromani Akali Dal, was marked by widespread demonstrations, acts of civil disobedience, and hunger strikes.When the conflict peaked in 1966, the central government was compelled to divide the pre-existing state of East Punjab.This resulted in the transfer of hilly areas to Himachal Pradesh, the creation of the present-day Punjabi-majority state of Punjab, and the Hindispeaking state of Haryana.Beyond just redrawing maps, the movement established the current administrative and linguistic boundaries of Northern India and significantly altered the region's identity politics.With an emphasis on the Suba movement's historical evolution and sociopolitical relevance, this essay employs an analytical methodology and secondary sources.
