PUNJAB HISTORY - TRIPARTITE STRUGGLE OF 16TH CENTURY AND MUGHAL RULE ESTABLISHED

In 16th century start punjab was ruled by the LODIS. Sikander Lodhi ruled from 1500-1517. He was a monarch but was a simple and benevolent ruler. He showed intolerance towards religion and destroyed the temples of hindus.

Ibrahim lodhi ruled from 1517- 1526. He was unpopular and tactless ruler. So he was a failure in keeping a check on his nobles.

Punjab was split into subas ( Provinces ) - Lahore, Multan, Dialpur, Sirhind and Sultanpur.

Tatar khan was appointed as the governor of punjab by sikander lodhi. After the death of tatar khan, his son became the governor of punjab. During the reign of ibrahim lodhi, daulat khan conspired to carve out punjab independent of lodhis rule.

The persons responsile for the struggle were Babur, Daulat khan and Alam khan( Anwaruddin Lodhi, ibrahims uncle and afgan noble ).

STORY

• Daulat khan became hostile and started controlling his province independently without asking ibrahim lodhi.
• Ibrahim summoned him.
• Daulat khan sent his son Dilawar whom was detained by Lodhi.
• Dilawar fled. Now he was sent toBabur by his father to join hands against Lodhi.
• Babur attacked and won ( Trgedy of Sayyidpur ).
• Daulat khan was made the governor again but for a lesser part than he thought of. So he revolted.
• This led to Babars final and fifth conquest to punjab and delhi.
• Finally babur attacked and defeated daulat khan and his control on delhi was established. 
• In this way Mughal rule as established in india.

PUNJAB HISTORY - AKALI MOVEMENT

In the 1920s punjab saw  new face of revolt against the corrupt british government. The movement was basically a result of AWAKENED MIDDLE CLASS.

Belonging to Udasi sect of sikhs, there was a group of people called Mahants whom were the temple holders. With the supprt from british and corrupt environment due to the british these mahants grew into feudal lords. They had a monopoly of being the only ones taking care of the gurudwaras.

So, to bring the possession of temples under the control of sikh community akali movement was launched with a sole religious purpose.

Akali movement followed the principles of nonviolence as demonstrated by the noncooperation movement led by Gandhiji in 1920. Sikhs were very much affected by him.

On 15th November 1920 a mandate was issued to all sikhs to elect a representative body of panth to control all the gurudwaras. So SGPC came into existence.


NANKANA SAHIB TRAGEDY
On 20th February 1920 Bhai Lachhman Singh led a jattha to free nankana sahib from mahant Narain Das. Armed pathans hired by mahant killed almost 200 sikhs.


KEY AFFAIRS
On 7th November 1921 the deputy commisioner of amritsar took away the keys of golden temple.

CUTTING WOOD FOR LANGAR
At guru ka bagh gurudwara mahant sundar das had given the control but had in possession the surrounding land. When sikhs tried to cut a tree for fire to make langar at the gurudwara, they were arrested on the instigation of mahant and beaten seriously. Finally agitations resultedinto transfer of control of gurudwaras in the hands of sgpc.

JAITO DA MORCHA
Maharaja Ripudaman Singh of nabha observed the martyr day to honour sikhs whom laid down their lives at nankana sahib. He was resented and forced to abdicate. This led to morcha by the sikhs.

PUNJAB HISTORY - KUKA MOVEMENT

After the death of Maharaja Ranjit Singh, Baba Ram Singh left service in 1845 and went to his hometown bhaini, Ludhiana.

Aa the british annexed punjab, he felt deeply for the people. So he made plans to revive traditions of Guru Gobind Singhji.

In 1857, he made Sant Khalsa Organization. He appointed Suba, governors for collection of funds for the organization.

Name KUKA comes from the way as when they assembled ( folowers ), used to emit LOUD KUKs or voices in religious gatherings. On taking account of it, the government made restrictions. This led to their popularity.

In 1871, Kukas killed bucthers at amritsar and raikot. This resulted in their hanging in jails. Ram singh was exiled to burma. Subas were banished.
