Somehow the genocide of Hindus committed by the Razakars is not highlighted enough... Thanks to the movie.. Razakar...for filling that gap... A must watch.

Being from Marathwada.. region under Nizam, I heard a lot of stories from Congress leaders during my childhood years that how Razakars carried out killings and raps of Hindu population and how they fought to liberate Hyderabad. So it is called as Hyderabad Mukti Sangram all the way long. If people like Shekhar Gupta and others think they can build a new narrative.. they can not sell it at least to my and the older generations.. . and I am in my 40s..

So touching when Shekharji conveys the message on Kassim as a poor soul in his speech we all should shed tears for him who master minded killing of Hindus during the liberation time leading the razakkars.

Shekhar ji.. people do notice how you avoided talking about Kasim Rizvi and Razaka’s atrocities and toned down the struggle of millions to ‘Liberate’ and NOT ‘Integrate’ Hyderabad. At the end of the day.. people like your intellectual way of presentation.. but they are not stupid.

Sekhar sir didn't utter a word about the word razkar atrocity due to his pseudo fans

Atrocities committed by Razakars under played.

Completely biased story made by Shekhar and his team ....No mention of Atrocities, killing & Raping by Razzakar militia is not mentioned.....shekhar is only blaming Indian hindus & army

Everyone was against Indian integration. West Europeans, Arabs, central asians, Australians and internally muslims. But despite of all this, morality won.

MIM AND RAZAKARS ARE NOT DIFFERENT. THEY ARE ONE AND THE SAME

Dear Shekhar Ji, Kerala had a GDP growth of 12.01%, higher than the national average. Yet, it is an artificial one relying entirely on remittances with the least dependence on the productive sectors of Kerala. Also, the majority of the youth in Kerala are moving abroad for better opportunities. Could you please clear the clutter about this in one of the episodes? Thanks!

Shekhar is master manipulator when it comes peaceful community 😂

Being from Hyderabad, I only knew this part of history in pieces. Thank you for this.

There's a lot of Capital and workforce from AP in Hyderabad, so it's still fair to say Hyderabad is still 'their' metro city in many ways. Especially with how AP is being run, lots of capital from AP is fleeing to Hyderabad.

Shekar being Shekar does not elaborate Razakaar's atrocities but elaborate later otherwise. Real Sickular.

As the elections are nearing, 'The Print' Shekar Gupta showing it's true colors, trying to follow the 'long game' strategy of the Chinese but you cannot right the wrongs.

Thank you! I've been one of those who complained a lot about lack of coverage of South Indian politics on The Print for a long time. Sorry to pester you for so long.

Sir it is not a bit of both .. it was Military action which integrated Hyderabad

It was not a operation polo it was a operation caterpillar operation polo later changed as operation caterpillar and nizam voluntarily join in indian union he stood on stand still agreement, government of india offered him Rajpramukh he served in the position for many years at the Time of china war nizam donated 6 tons of gold to indian army

How many hindus were killed by razzakars? Mention that.

Some say, that the idea of tagging the liberation of Hyderabad as a "police action", was first proposed by the late and great Dr Ambedkar.

Who are the Telengana Govt and more particularly that Communal Part MIM fooling by calling it the integration?. Integration is when you ,on your own volition, agree to join the Indian union. It is a common knowledge that is not the case with Hydersbad for the simple reason that : Nizam was right from the beginning clearly unwilling to join,rather expressed for remaining Independant. .Nizam stubornly put up resistance. So it is hypocritical on his part to extricate himself by blaming the rogue elements in his govt. That is tactical and hypocritical. Typical of these people when going is good,they will happily massacre people and when subjugated/defeated, the will shamelessly take to falsehood. Nizamis no different and said and did that. As head of state,how could he free himself from blame and responsibility?. MIM ,whatever it might say, deep inside the skin ,it is still the hynae's hesrt. It is bound to have doublespeak in an India which is different from Nizam's. History and geography was not in their favour. Till the last, Nizam tried to remain independant It bought Rms from British sympThis Hyderabad was liberated by military action and Nizam, being defeated, surrended in a war with India ,so how can MIM or anyone else call it integration. It is just playing with words,which has no significance in 2023 India. It bought arms from its British masters,who still want to disintegrate India. His advisors were the British. All his actions reveal he was hostile till his surrender.

You are right. South deserves greater study and coverage in the media. The Telengana Armed Struggle, in which the Communists who waged war first against Nizam & Razakars and later against the Indian Army deserves a place in the history. They took over administration in hundreds of villages, distributed the lands of Zamindars and empowered the poor till they surrendered in 1950 About three thousand peasants were killed either in action or in custody. This movement was so popular that the Communist Party candidate from the Nalgonda was elected to the first Lok Sabha with the largest margin in the country.

El-Edroos is Yemeni, Yemeni people still live in Hyderabad. They're the ones who started all these 'Mandi' restaurants, the arabic style rice and meat dish that many people share from the same plate.

You have to give full credit to Sardar Patel for liberating the Hyderabad province and integrating it with India. Mr. Gandhi and Mr Nehru would not or could not have done it.

Pls sir can there be a ctc for cash diversion by center which seem complicated for me . If you can please explain it for us

Good one, nicely explained by Shekhar Ji!

I always say this. Don’t blame the razakars or the nizam. The hardware is not the problem. The software is the problem.

Sir, as usual very informative episode...Thanks a lot..take care

“A country needs to have an environment of civility where people [are] working together to make good things happen.” - Ray Dalio Founder, Bridgewater Associates

The Telangana Armed Struggle agaisnt the Nizam and the Indian Army is the most significant part of India's "integration" story. The Print does some really great work, but conveniently ignored it, whatever the reason may be, only looking at the communal side of the story is not in the interest of our nation.

Very good informative video...thanx sekhar ji...😊

Yeh toh last year ka re-upload hai

Superb Shekharji, as always.

Excellent narrative & unknown facts for many of us who born after independence...the decade of 1945 to 1955 full of untold facts going on in those days.. community , religious based polatical arenas found across the spectrum & periods..now days it's more highlighted due to technology improvement..

He did not once recount atrocities on hindus but look at his enthusiasm to paint hindus as aggressors. What a slimeball

Totally left out Telangana Armed Struggle.

keep telling we dont talk about south often. But keep doing that.

Atrocities committed by razakars lets not elaborate but lets wait for the other part. Really secular

A good short summary of the events that led to Liberation of Hyderabad, given the constraint of time that Shekhar had to work in. That said, what the Razakars did to target one particular community should have been elaborated a bit, perhaps some want the topic of Razakars to be wished away from our History. Who knows?

How many of those murders went Scott free. Not a single one. Who died as always Hindus. Who won and even winning today, Islamists who are still inside India.

It was militarily liberated using force by defeating the Muslim Army of Nizam of Hyderabad....

Iam surprised that you not said one word about Communists who actually started a struggle ,fought on behalf of people of Hyderabad and lost their cadre killed by Nizams Razakars and the Indian Army troops brutally. Communists fought against the atrocities of Landlords ,Doras,Deshmukh,patels and patwaries and distributed the lakhs of acres land to the people of Hyderabad. Communists welcomed Indian integration but after Integration in India ,Indian Army generals supported these landlords and reocupied this Land, brutally killed who opposed them.Razakers came to villages stayed in the Gadis of doras (mostly Hindu landlords) and killed our familes. NOTE:- Its not a fight against Muslim Nawab v/s hindu people But a fight against Landlords, Doras,zamindars V/S landless poor people. Doddi Komarai,Chakali Ilamma ,Shoaibulla khan,Magdum Moinuddin,Ravi Narayan Reddy ....they are the real heros of Hyderabad Struggle .Please speak about them.

“A bit of both”!? Really Shekhar?

MIM today is.........

Спасибо большое 💞🎉❤

No mention of the local Hindu communist militias who freed major portions of Nalgonda, Khammam, Karimnagar and Warangal. They were tortured by Razakars. But they freed many villages.

The stand taken by the Indian government in the case Kashmir was not just other wise than Huderabad ...?

Was it a declared as military operation ..?

Were the states given any choic? Did Congress sign any agreement in this regard ..Did it matter ?

Hyderabad state had parts of Tamilnadu? Does anyone know of the maps showing it? In schools we studied it to end well up in today’s Andhra Pradesh.

Town hall with DK Singh please.

It is surely a liberation , happening an year later when Nizam surrendered to Indian forces

You failed to cut the clutter by forgetting contribution of Arya Samaj in hyderabad liberation.

Disappointed by SG's review. Nothing new. I am from Raichur (Kar) part of the Nizam and may be knew more about the Nizam then SG.

Looks like Sydney Cotton was the one who made maximum profits out of this, followed by Owaisis...

Your explanation is flawed.... According to your logic, Since Indian Army was biased in favour of Hindus during operation therefore term "police Action" Was used..... This logic would have been true if term "police action" Was used after operation.... But this term was not used by looking at the consequence of operation.... In reality, India's ministry of External Affairs used the term "police action" even just before the launch of operation.... It was done to downplay the side effects of the operation at UN.

Hyderabad state didn't include today's Andhra Pradesh. It was Telangana+ bit of Karnataka and a bit of Maharashtra. @print

Shekar ji, hope you can recall or find out that the same Nizam donated 5,000 kgs of gold to our National Defence when PM Lal Bahadur Shastri called for dinations to revuild the military after the 1962 defeat. This is still the highest ever contribution by an individual. No Ambani no Adani has matched this.

Don't forget, if Gandhi were alive, he wouldn't Indian take Hyderabad by force, hence no liberation at all.

People who are highly concerned about SG's omission on Razakars can watch his earlier video on liberation of Hyderabad - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/gL-TZqWUp7G5p2Q.html

I am sure aur bhi bahut sare honge...apse anurodh hai aur bhi jarur sunaien....

Unfortunately not a word about Telugu people's fight in villages for Integration into India and against razakars😢 This video's is purely from Delhi Angle of View

IT IS NOT ASIF JAH... IT IS ASAFJAH ...

was the role of the Razakars left out purposely in this talk ? the atrocities of the Razakars are remembered to this day by a lot of people in the areas under nizam rule like Nanded

History tells nizams was always against Indian..accepting all British conditions

Sir I noticed that u mentioned figures of muslim causality but u didn't mention any figures about hindu causality. Stating half fact is misrepresentation of fact.

1. It's Asaf Jah and not Asif Jah. 2. Deccan comes from the word Dakshin.

I have always liked Shekhar Gupta since his days elsewhere, not The Print. On Hyderabad he presents a sketchy analysis. He should have spoken about Razakars, their employers and targets; he should have spoken about massacre of Muslims and the rape of their women and destruction of their houses in Hyderabad State of the Nizam. This episode is too simplistic and too shallow. Apart from Sunderlal Committee Reports the shady role of K M Munshi and the fear that gripped the Muslims for several decades. The removal of the Muslims from the government jobs and making their life miserable. I suggest he should revisit Operation Polo and its consequences, both good and bad on the Muslim psyche of Hyderabad. Meanwhile, a movie is coming out--Razakars on the lines of Kashmir Files and the Kerala Story, soon which I fear would lead to polarisation of people in Telangana, Maharashtra and Karnataka.

"History is a tool used by politicians to justify their intensions." - Ted Koppel

You should have highlighted razakars atrocities

Have to given adiquate ccompensation of peoples who killed by polo ,have to retain the nizams raja pramuk status if we still remain in sathyameva jayada gov of india should not hve the right to remove the raj pramug status whic was guven to princlt states

Everyone knows Hyderabad wants to join Pakistan. Because of India govt at that time took over Hyderabad by force. So Modi is correct here. I am seeing a lot of stuff where the current Telangana govt changes its history and makes it seem like Andhra is a bad guy while the Nizams are good guys. Everyone knows before the British entire Telugu state was ruled by Nizams but most of Telangana don't want to admit it because it makes their moments meaningless. They took bhadrachalam and sree Ram temple after the Telangana formation even though it belongs to the Madras presidency. And should belong to the current AP. But they took it by saying it was built by Nizams and once ruled by Nizams. While they don't talk about the current AP.

Sanghis comment here about shekhar not expanding on the razakar atrocities but conveniently forget the communist party uprising of the telugu people in rural areas against the nizam state. Doesnt go well with their hindu nationalist agenda.

Not a word about loot, plunder, rape & genocide by the Razakars 🥸

...lol... Nehru. .. said..... why he can't solve Kashmir

You are too late Shekhar Gupta. I read every word u've spoken around a week ago.😑

Read Narendra Luther, better than Guha

Typical Sekhar ji way of saying a story without irritating some peaceful people who still dream of breaking India as per a dream.started in 1927....

It's an insult to people who lost their lives while liberating Hyderabad. This kind of pseudo journalist is dangerous to the country.

NIZAMS WERE NEVER BADSHAH AS U INDICATED...

and how manu Hindus were killed by Razakars, y dont u put those numbers as well Mr. Gupta??

Hindu life matter

In short its a liberation.

You totally forget about Telangana militant poratam by communist we call the red brothers if you don't know history don't gas light😂😂

Yes south itself gives 40 percent or more GDP to India.. u should talk about South Lol

LAIQ ALI A SHREWD AND TOUGH NEGOTIATOR? PLEASE READ HYDERABAD'S HISTORY. HE WAS A STOOGE OF QASIM RAZVI.

LAATO KE BHOOT NEEDED IRON FIST TO DEAL WITH RAZAKAARs WHICH PATEL USED

Razakkars atrocities are always undermined by journalists

Hyderabad was occupied by Islamic invaders it was liberation of Hyderabad and the indigenous people of Hyderabad. Hyderabad name should be changed it does not represent the civilizational Hindu identity of Hyderabad

Anti national Gupta continues to insult our intelligence

Jai Shree Razakars😍😍

I was expecting at least a slight mention of genocide of Hindus (Marathi & Telugu speaking population in particular) carried out by Razakars in Maharashtra & other parts. No attempt of whitewashing the image of nizam would work at least in Maharashtra. It was & it is a 'Liberation' for us.

BJP won't concur power in Telugu states the basis of religion like they do in the north So, now they decide to focus on this kinda issues. What happened in the Hyderabad state is in the past definitely horrible but now people in the state has communal harmony. People focusing more on education and jobs instead of politics. Muslim people ideology is also changing positively except where there is BJP/ MIm has a strong hold. Each other communities leaders are accusing each other for their benifits. We can see the positive change through the development of Hyderabad and other places. I hope Political leaders won't disturb the peace for their political benifits. We should not forget the past but the past shouldn't disturb our future and peace between people.

Gupta jii....this is nt the time of congress system....u still talk like that u do make narrative.....this is the era of I.T.revolution..."Nijam tried hard to join pakistan".,....plz dnt spread falsehood 😢😢😢😢😢

WORLD SHOULD PRESSURE INDIA TO FREE KASHMIR

Basically its liberation of Hyderabad as per Shekar Muslims as per Islam will never support integration as chapter 9 verse 5 of Quran “But once the Sacred Months have passed, kill the polytheists ˹who violated their treaties˺ wherever you find them, capture them, besiege them, and lie in wait for them on every way”

en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telangana_Rebellion Nicely avoided this part of the story....

I'm not apologetic like you SG sir. I say it was liberation of Hyderabad from the Islamic Kingdom of Nizam and Islam lost against Indian army❤
