Bhim Sen Sachar (December 1, 1894〔()〕 - January 18, 1978〔http://www.mapsofindia.com/who-is-who/history/bhim-sen-sachar.html〕) was an Indian politician. He was Chief Minister of Punjab twice. ==Biography== Sachar was born on December 1, 1894. He did BA and LLB in Lahore and practiced law in Gujranwala,〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.indianpost.com/viewstamp.php/Alpha/B/B.S.%20SACHAR )〕 which is now in Pakistan. He was attracted to the freedom movement and joined the Indian National Congress party at a young age. In 1921, he was elected as the Secretary of Punjab Pradesh Congress Committee. By the time India gained independence in 1947, he was an important member of the party. In 1949, the party selected him for the office of Chief Minister of Punjab. He took oath on April 13, 1949 and served until October 18, 1949. The first elections in independent India were held in 1952 and the Punjab legislative assembly was formed for the first time that year. The Congress party won the provincial elections at this time, and Sachar became chief minister again, serving from April 17, 1952 to January 23, 1956.〔()〕 After he demitted office (due to internal party politics), Sachar was named governor of Odisha by the union government. He served from 1956 to 1957. He was then named governor of Andhra Pradesh and served from 1957 to 1962. During the Emergency, he was arrested and sent to jail with some other dissident leaders of Congress party, who belonged to the "old school" of the party and had spoken against the increasing authoritarianism of Indira Gandhi and her son Sanjay.〔(Rao, the Best Prime Minister? - Page 101 by Janak Raj Jai )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Bhim Sen Sachar」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
