Senior journalist K Raka Sudhakar Rao explains the horrors committed by the Razakars against Hindus in the erstwhile Hyderabad State.
Mir Osman Ali, the seventh Nizam of the Hyderabad state, was deposed on 17 September 1948. Unleashing a tyrannical rule, led by the rampaging state-backed militia called the Razakars; the Nizam presided over the worst atrocities employed by any princely state, in a bid to remain independent. The Nizam, who ruled over almost 16 million people, 85 per cent of whom were Hindus, used every trick in the book to retain his independence as the British prepared to leave India.
In September 1948, Sardar Patel sanctioned Operation Polo and ensured that Indian troops freed millions of patriotic Hindus and Muslims from the whimsical tyranny of the Nizam.
