As India gained independence from British rule in 1947, all 500-odd princely states were asked to either join India or Pakistan, or remain independent.
Mir Osman Ali Khan, the Nizam of Hyderabad, refused to merge with the new nations, and hence, the princely state was declared an independent nation on 15 August 1947.
Hyderabad had a powerful militia called Razakars, led by Qasim Razvi, the leader of Majlis-E-Ittehadul Muslimeen (MIM) during the Nizamâs reign.
At that time, a peasant movement, with the assistance of the Communists, was budding in Hyderabad against the Nizamâs feudalism.
Even as Nizam chose to remain independent, the majority of the population including the peasant protesters were advocating for joining the Union of India.
The Razakars suppressed the peasant movement and killed those demanding the merger with India.
On 17 September 1948, as part of “Operation Polo”, the Indian troops stormed, then the princely state when Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel was the home minister. The Indian Army defeated the Razakars, while the Nizam surrendered and the erstwhile Hyderabad state became part of the Indian Union.
Principal J Satya Narayana Reddy also felt that very happy, why because state government announced official celebrations to mark the day, it is for the first time since the formation of Telangana that September 17 will witness state celebrations.
