Abstract

Situating the argument in the larger theoretical framework of the impact of external factors in shaping the development of a country or a region, this article explores the impact of Centre–State relations in India on shaping Punjab’s agrarian-oriented development pattern. It links this agrarian-oriented development pattern in post-colonial Punjab with the colonial era development pattern in Punjab that was based on the development of canal colonies in Punjab as the core of that development strategy. To show the continuity between the colonial era development strategy and the post-colonial development strategy, the article focuses on the Green Revolution as the central component in the shaping of agrarian-oriented development pattern in Punjab. The article concludes with arguing for restructuring Centre–State relations to give a push to decentralised development strategy in India that can allow Punjab to shape its own development pattern in consonance with its own resource endowment and its own transitional path to a non-agrarian future.
