Abstract
The Sikhs were the integral part of Punjab politics especially after
Montague- Chelmsford reforms. They although had joint political
venture with the Unionist Party of Punjab but later on during the
partition drive they missed the train. They were more relying on
the Indian National Congress authorities and were betrayed by
them. Despite of many offers of Jinnah, they rejected all the offers
and joined hands with the Congress. After the Cabinet mission,
they mad and re-made all of their policies which led towards of
their illusion politics, damaging their cause. Congress leadership
assured them many times about their full support to the Sikh
leadership and all of their demands. This paper will deal with the
political development of partition drive and betrayal of the Sikhs
by the Congress that how they were betrayed and the Sikhs were
confused in their politics and political tactics and the role of
Colonial authorities as well Congressites to get the support of the
Sikhs.
