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.
In 'India in Search of Glory', Ashok Lahiri shows how the heads of three formerly princely states—Hyderabad, Kashmir, Junagadh—had their own eccentricities.
This is the game every nation is now learning to play. Some are finding new allies or seeing value among nations where they’d seen marginal interest. The starkest example is India & Europe.
Nonsense. The Nizam was anti-people and a despot. The Razakars killed Hindus mercilessly and were paid Muslim mercenaries . Stop distorting history.
