PUBLICATIONS PROSCRIBED BY THE GOVERNMENT OF INDIA.
Woodbridge, CT: Research Publications, 1985.
35 reel(s)
The rising tide of nationalism in India in the early twentieth century and the mounting communal tension between Hindus and Muslims found expression in the variety of propagandist literature published in both Indian and western languages. This literature emanated from movements in India and from expatriate communities in Europe and the United States. The British government attempted to suppress much of this material through censorship This collection contains just over 1600 items banned by the British government in India prior to 1947. It contains monographs, newspapers, pamphlets, and posters. Within the collection the researcher will find material on such topics as the Hindu-Muslim conflict, Islam, Sikh politics, boycotts, British administration, communism, Ghandi, the "Mutiny" of 1857, the Indian National Congress, armed forces, the non-cooperation campaigns, World War II, "Quit India," and patriotic poetry.

Punjab Legislative Assembly. PUNJAB LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY. DEBATES 1937-1946.
Tumba, Sweden: International Documentation Centre, 1968.
445 fiche
This collection contains volumes 1-25 of the daily official reports of the Legislative Assembly of the British-Indian province of Punjab. Each volume is a verbatim record of the debates of one session of the assembly. Two major cities within the Punjab are Lahore, which is where the assembly met, and Amritsar, which is the center of Sikh culture and religion. The records cover the period from immediately after the implementation of the Government of India Act (April 1, 1937) to shortly before partition in 1947 when the region was divided into the Indian Punjab state and the Pakistani Punjab province. The collection illustrates the processes of Indian government during a period of increasing nationalist and religious tension in the Punjab.
The records are in chronological order. Each daily report has a table of contents on the title page. Some volumes are preceded by a table of contents and some conclude with an index.

Punjab. Legislative Council. DEBATES: OFFICIAL REPORTS, 1921-1936.
Tumba, Sweden: International Documentation Centre, 1968.
565 fiche
This collection contains volumes 1-29 of the official daily reports of the Legislative Council of the Lieutenant Governor for the British Indian province of the Punjab (now divided into the Indian Punjab State and the Pakistani Punjab Province) during the period from 1921 to 1936. The Punjab was the frontier province of north-east British-India. Two of its major cities are Lahore, where the council met, and Amitsar which is the center of Sikh culture and religion. Each volume of the collection is a verbatim record of the debates of one session of the council. The Punjab legislative council was established to make laws and regulations under provisions of the Indian Councils Acts of 1861 and 1892. The council was dissolved in 1936 and replaced by the party system of government within the new Punjab legislative assembly as dictated by the new Indian constitution. This transformation occurred as a result of the 1935 Government of India Act which granted full autonomy to the provinces. The period covered includes the depression and is one of increasing religious and racial tension. The collection includes material on education, public health, industry, irrigation, religion and corruption.
The records are in chronological order. The daily reports include tables of contents.
Punjab. Legislative Council. PROCEEDINGS, 1897-1918.
Tumba, Sweden: International Documentation Centre, 1968.
132 fiche
This collection contains volumes 1-9 of the proceedings of the legislative council of the Lieutenant Governor for the British-Indian province of the Punjab (now divided into the Indian Punjab State and the Pakistani Punjab Province). Each volume is a verbatim record of the debates of one session of the council. Two major cities within the Punjab are Lahore which is where the council met, and Amitsar, which is the center of Sikh culture and religion. The Punjab legislative council was established to make laws and regulations under the provisions of the Indian Councils Acts of 1861 and 1892. The 1861 act contemplated the establishment of the council but it was left to the Governor General as to when it should be implemented. The older provinces received their legislative councils at once though it was only in 1886 that legislatures were constituted in most north-western provinces. Finally in 1897 the Punjab, the frontier province of north-west British-India received its legislative council along with Burma, the eastern frontier province of British-India. The 1861 Indian Councils Act would have severely limited the actions of the Punjab legislative council because it prevented local councils from repealing or amending any existing laws or regulations made after the passing of the act by the Governor General. This limitation was removed by section 5 of the 1892 act. Section 2 of the 1892 act conferred on the council the authorization to discuss the annual financial statement and budgetary scrutiny was to be the main business of the council. The collection is a record of debates and question and answer sessions covering such topics as education, sanitation, public health, crime, famine, industry, and transport. There is also material on the Punjab role in World War I and the distribution of land to pensioned soldiers. These subjects may be of particular interest as much of the Indian army was recruited in the Punjab.
The records are in chronological order. The later volumes include a table of contents and an index.
