CITY SCAN
Ghadar — Ek

and preserves historicity to be discovered by others. Punjab has created
glorious history, but few historians. Its history is written by
non-Punjabis, some aliens and a few of those unfamiliar with its spirit
or ethos. The freedom movement is glory of modern history of India.
Punjab contributes a major share to it. The historic role of Ajit Singh,
Lala Lajpat Rai and others changes the very character of struggle for
freedom.
