Abstract :

This research paper is an attempt to elaborate on “Master Tara Singh: Azad Punjab Scheme 1943”. The word ‘Azad’ was used for redemarcation of territories of Punjab. Azad Punjab Scheme called for the detachment of Muslim majority districts from Punjab so as to create a new province in which the Sikh population was maximised and no single community constituted a majority in the proposed set up. This scheme in no way envisaged the grant of sovereignty to the Punjab. It was a counterblast to partition. Master Tara Singh mentions that Sikhs were a nation. This scheme was the first popular formulation of territorial rearrangement as a means of protection for Sikh community. To enhence the political influence of Sikh community was a turning point in the development of modern Sikh politics.
