The city of Lahore held esteem importance in the north India during British
Raj. This value had converted the city of Lahore into a battleground between
the communities fighting for maintenance of their supremacy in times of
partition of the country. The main aim behind the communal war of succession
was to get hold over this historical city. Muslims were majority community in
British Lahore. However, their persisted poor financial condition had not
allowed them to elevate into a strong middle class. Hindus, on the other hand
held strong marks of middle class and had the edge of showing supremacy.
Sikhs were, despite being poor, in the same camp with Hindus. This kind of
positioning of communities had ensued a battle to emulate with the city in any
hostile situation. We see the emergence of same sense of emulation when it
comes to adopting the violence as a tool to get hold over the city.
