On July 21, 2024, Blachaur hosted a thought-provoking seminar on Punjab politics, featuring Ganghveer Singh Rathor as the keynote speaker. Rathor delivered a compelling presentation on the decline of local politics in Punjab, tracing its roots back to the Akali Dal’s failure in 1947. He argued that key figures such as Jawaharlal Nehru, Mahatma Gandhi, and Sardar Patel had betrayed the Sikh community, leading to significant political disillusionment. Rathor also highlighted the persistent struggle for the Punjabi Suba Morcha, a movement aimed at securing a separate Punjabi-speaking state. His insights provided a deep dive into the complex historical and political dynamics that have shaped contemporary Punjab, sparking a lively discussion among attendees about the region’s past and its future trajectory.
