Abstract

ABSTRACT The Sikhs in Punjab turned against militants in early-1990s, after nature of violence changed from being politically oriented to largely indiscriminate. The Akali Dal guided by desire to remain politically relevant in post-militancy era, wove ideological and electoral strategy around moderate idioms, stressing consociationalism and economic development. Tracing party’s transition to moderation and dominance in post-militancy Sikh politics, I demonstrate that template of moderation began in 1994 when party defied Amritsar Declaration, not in 1996 with often-cited Moga Declaration. The moderate paradigm still remains intact, while recent electoral setbacks may persuade party to return to some refashioned identity politics.
战斗后阿卡利达尔的复活,以及旁遮普锡克教徒身份政治的新前景
旁遮普的锡克教徒在20世纪90年代初开始反对武装分子,因为暴力的性质从政治导向转变为不分青红皂白。Akali Dal希望在后战斗时代保持政治影响力,围绕温和的习语编织意识形态和选举战略,强调社会主义和经济发展。追溯该党在后好战的锡克教政治中向温和和主导地位的转变,我证明了温和的模板始于1994年,当时该党蔑视《阿姆利则宣言》,而不是1996年经常被引用的《摩加宣言》。温和的模式仍然完好无损,而最近的选举挫折可能会说服政党回归一些重新设计的身份政治。
