Shaheed Ganj Mosque dispute between the Sikhs and Muslims
erupted in 1935 and contaminated the peaceful religious atmosphere of
Punjab. Overreaction of both the communities particularly of their
religious and political leaders complicated the issue which finally was
addressed by the Lahore High Court. But this dispute had created a
wide gulf between the Sikhs and the Muslims which culminated into the
open hostility in 1940s especially on the eve of the partition of India
and the division of the Punjab. Much has been written on the causes,
events and the implications of the Shaheed Ganj Mosque Dispute but
historians have not given academic attention to the response of the
Punjab legislature which consisted of the elected members of the main
communities of Punjab namely Hindus, Sikhs and Muslims. Their
views, actions and policies determine the future of their communities.
Therefore, it is of immense importance to study the response of the
legislators of these communities in the Punjab Legislative Council.
While focusing on the Sikh-Muslim relations during 1930s with
reference to the Shaheed Ganj Mosque issue, the paper tries to uncover
the thoughts and actions of the Legislators of the Sikh and Muslim
communities in the Punjab Legislative Assembly. This paper, hopefully,
will a research gap in the existing historical literature in the history of
colonial Punjab.
