Sikander Hyat-Khan: Collected Papers of the Premier of United Punjab, 1928-1942 presents a comprehensive examination of a pivotal figure in the history of unified Punjab. Hyat-Khan, whose tenure was cut short by his passing at the age of 50, served as a beacon of leadership in the years leading up to the Partition that would reshape the subcontinent. As Punjab's first democratically elected leader, Hyat-Khan championed intercommunal harmony, assembling a cabinet of diverse faiths, and spearheading significant reforms across agriculture, economy, law, education, and culture. He also made pivotal contributions, including drafting the Lahore Resolution (which later became the basis for Pakistan's Constitution), leading India in World War II, advocating for self-determination, and envisioning a unified postcolonial state. This first-ever collection of Hyat-Khan's writings, speeches, and tributes offers insight into his impact and the pivotal moments in South Asian history, celebrating a visionary leader's commitment to freedom and unity.
