The last Nizam’s legacy is also being torn apart by the BJP, which has turned him into a devil because of the Razakar violence. It’s a selective Right-wing reading of history.
“They’ve been blaming our party—blaming Nehru—for the delay in Hyderabad’s annexation. By giving Razakar an award, what message are we sending out?” a senior Muslim leader of Telangana Congress said.
The oppn parties are objecting to Telangana CM’s appellation, questioning his rationale. While BJP observes 17 Sept as Liberation Day, it was named Integration Day by previous BRS govt.
While BJP wants 17 Sept, 1948 — which saw erstwhile princely state of Hyderabad become part of India — be observed as 'Liberation Day', ruling BRS prefers to call it 'Integration Day'.
While film producer Abhishek Agarwal says his movie will have 'no sugar coating', screenwriter Vijayendra Prasad claims he is trying to give a humanitarian message through his work.
The critical difference between the ‘integration’ and ‘liberation approach’ is that the latter is designed to provoke the 15 per cent Muslim population of Telangana.
China patiently invested capital, skill and technology in coal gasification. Unlike it, we won’t move from words to action. As crude prices decline, we lose interest.
Nonsense. The Nizam was anti-people and a despot. The Razakars killed Hindus mercilessly and were paid Muslim mercenaries . Stop distorting history.
