Item description from seller

The fifty-four essays in Nurturing the Idea of Himachal Pradesh for the first time provide an account of the comprehensive changes in the political, demographic and geographical boundaries of Himachal Pradesh from the period of its formation in April 1948 to the attainment of Statehood in 1971, and how these changes reshaped the political and cultural landscape of the three states of northern India—Punjab, Haryana and Himachal Pradesh. The essays explore a range of ideas including a support price for non-agricultural commodities, land allotment to the landless, pensions for MLAs, and the recognition of water as a vital resource—what he called ‘liquid gold’. His vision for hill development, land reforms, forest regeneration, horticulture, and hydropower generation transformed rural life and played a decisive role in shaping modern Himachal Pradesh. It offers engaging details into how Parmar argued before Justice S. Fazl Ali and the States Reorganization Commission in 1955 to preserve Himachal’s identity. He later made a convincing case before the Hukam Singh Committee for the inclusion of Pahari-speaking regions of the Punjab to be integrated with Himachal Pradesh. This volume brings forth the argumentative, innovative and transformational ideas and work of Y.S. Parmar.
