PARTAP SINGH KAIRON A VISIONARY (HB)

Punjab not only bore the brunt
of Partition, but the state’s economy was also left in ruins. This was the
time when one man helped the state emerge from the ravages of death and
destruction Partap Singh kairon. He steered Punjab away from the confused times
after Partition and reined in divisive forces that threatened to divide the
state yet again. He succeeded in getting different communities to work
together and brought stability to a volatile region. Kairon combined both
vision and administrative acumen to transform Punjab into the grain bowl of
the country as well as one of the most prosperous states. Kairon was much
more than the creator of modern Punjab was a statesman and a visionary. His
tragic assassination remains a mystery even today.
