British rule in Punjab is commonly perceived as an ideal
in the domain of revolutionary reforms in the institution-building
and good governance. Sir Robert Fulton considers ‘justice’ as the
strong foundation of the British empire in the Subcontinent as he
says, ‘England retains its supremacy in India mainly by justice.
Without justice we could not hold India for a moment.’1
No
tradition of ‘rule of law’ the Punjab had experienced before the
advent of the British therefore its environment presented
compatibility with the ‘Authoritarian Paternalism’ as enunciated
by David Gilmartin.2
The oral history accounts testify an
effective working of the British government institutions and
apparatus in the Punjab3
but the region underwent injustice in
several domains. Today, the political culture of Pakistan
dominated by the Punjab4
has ramified numerous ills that root in
the Colonial period as many injustices were done with the
Punjab by the British imperialists.
