H S Phoolka  Fri, May 6, 2016 at 5:59 PM

Meeting on Tytler isssue was scheduled for today at 5:00PM 

Senior advoate and Aam Admi Party leader Mr. H S Phoolka received a call from personal assistant of Jathedar Akal Takht Sahib that the meeting scheduled for today at 5:00 pm with Jathedar Sahib has been cancelled and Mr. Phoolka should now contact Jathedar Sahib’s personal assistant for fixing time next week in Amritsar.

In a TV interview yesterday Jagdish Tytler stated that he has written a letter to Jathedar Akal Takht Sahib and he wants to appear before Akal Takht to give proof of his innocence.

Mr. Phoolka had spoken to Jathedar Akal Takht Sahib, Singh Sahib Giani Gurbachan Singhji and had taken time to meet him and present all the proofs against Jagdish Tytler, showing his involvement in the Genocide.

Mr. Phoolka will be to meeting Jathedar Sahib before that and will present all the proofs against Jagdish Tytler and would request Jathedar Sahib to impress upon the Central government to arrest Jagdish Tytler.

Phoolka will be meeting Jathedar tomorrow

Jagdish Tytler in his website

It is shocking and surprising that the main mastermind of 1984 Anti- Sikh Genocide wants to appear before Akal Takht Sahib.

Mr. Phoolka has spoken to Jathedar Akal Takht Sahib, Singh Sahib Giani Gurbachan Singhji and has taken time to meet him tomorrow and present all the proofs against Jagdish Tytler, showing his involvement in the Genocide.

Mr. Phoolka will be meeting Jathedar Sahib tomorrow in Delhi.

Mr. Phoolka recalls that day when after a criminal case was registered against Jagdish Tytler that time President of Delhi Sikh Gurudwara Management Committee had presented a Saropa & Sword to Jagdish Tytler. These very elements may again try to facilitate Tytler’s meeting with Jathedar Sahib.

Mr. Phoolka will be to meeting Jathedar Sahib before that and will present all the proofs against Jagdish Tytler and would request Jathedar Sahib to impress upon the Central government to arrest Jagdish Tytler.

Dr. Mridula Mukherjee in Ludhiana on Sunday

She investigated agrarian history in the Punjab also

Ludhiana: 23 April 2016: (Punjab Screen Bureau):

Dr. Mridula Mukherjee is coming to Ludhiana to participate in a seminar on Indian Nationalism.

Mridula Mukherjee was born in 1950 in New Delhi, India. Her parents, Vidya Dhar Mahajan and Savitri Shori Mahajan had been history teachers in Lahore, from where they emigrated to New Delhi following the Partition of India in 1947.

She graduated from Lady Shri Ram College in New Delhi. She joined Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) as a post-graduate student in 1971, from where she obtained a PhD degree. Her doctoral thesis advisor was Bipan Chandra.

                            In 1972, while working on her doctoral thesis, Mukherjee was hired by the Centre for Historical Studies, JNU, as a faculty member.

She investigated agrarian history in the Punjab. She argued that despite extensive irrigation works, colonialisation caused agricultural involution, with the number of workers per unit area rising and production dropping. She also analysed peasant movements in the erstwhile princely states of the Punjab across the pre- and post-1947 periods. Her critical analysis of a Marxian orientation of peasant consciousness has been highlighted.

A common thread running through Mukherjee's work has been a criticism of the Subaltern mode of historical inquiry, which informs her analysis of peasant movements as well as her other major contribution: modern Indian history. This is encapsulated by the two books co-written with Bipan Chandra et al: India's Struggle for Independence and India after independence: 1947-2000. In the former book, the authors sought to "demolish the influence of the Cambridge and Subaltern 'schools' reflected in the writing on colonialism and nationalism in India
