At the time of the partition of India, the province of Punjab came forward with a plan for a united and independent existence.

During the discussions and negotiations surrounding the partition of India in 1947, the leaders of Punjab proposed the idea of a united and independent Punjab that would remain separate from both India and Pakistan. The plan envisioned Punjab as a separate and autonomous state with its own government and administration.

However, despite the proposal, the partition ultimately resulted in the division of Punjab into two separate regions: West Punjab, which became part of Pakistan, and East Punjab, which became part of India. This division led to mass migrations, violence, and significant upheaval in the region.

Therefore, at the time of the partition of India, Punjab was the province that came forward with a plan for a united and independent existence.
