Abstract

The present study is an attempt to explore the internal dynamics of this change process in its wholeness. It takes into account the ethnographic, social, economic, political, cultural and religious facets of the Rajput Sikh community of Doaba region. It places the community on a broader canvas of the history of greater Punjab, specifically during the British period, with a view to evaluating its role and contribution and exploring the aspects of social mobility, cultural renaissance and political awakening among its members.

The Rajput Sikh community in Doaba region has experienced a rapid socio-economic change since pre and post-independence, with the onset of green revolution and implementation of economic reforms by the Government.
