Abstract
This article interrogates Bertrand Glancy’s role in the appointment of Khizar Hayat Tiwana as premier of Punjab in 1943, after the death of Sikander Hyat Khan, and the aftermath scenario of Punjab politics. The Governor as an instrument of the British imperialists had to safeguard their interests. The British interest till the end of the World War II was to retain the status-quo in the center as well as in the provincial politics so that it could use men and material support of the Punjab in the war. Therefore, it is pertinent to seek what were the ideas of Glancy about the province of the Punjab, why he elected Khizar Hayat Tiwana as premier of Punjab, why he didn’t even grant the Muslim League an interview, why Jinnah was not consulted in this election and how he encouraged, guided and dictated Khizar for anti-Pakistan moves in his premiership
