On September 17, 1948 , following *Operation Polo, the *Nizam of Hyderabad , who had initially resisted India’s integration, surrendered to the Indian government. The Nizam, once the ruler of Hyderabad State, yielded control after India’s military operation and formally joined the Indian Union.
The people, who had suffered under the Nizam’s reign, expressed their anger, especially towards those who had led the oppression, including the notorious Razakars. In recognition of the Nizam’s surrender, the Indian government appointed Raj Pramukh in Telangana to oversee the region.
As part of the post-operation restructuring, the Nizam was given special security. Khasim Razvi, the leader of the Razakars, was sent to Pakistan. The 1952 General Body elections brought an end to the oppressive rule, symbolizing a new chapter of governance that aimed to heal the wounds inflicted by the Nizam’s reign.
