DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe fascinating story of the fall of the Indian princely state of Hyderabad has till now been dominated by the 'court historians' of Indian nationalism. In this book A. G. Noorani offers a revisionist account of the Indian Army's 'police action' against the armed forces and government of Hyderabad, ruled by the fabulously wealthy Nizam. His forensic scrutiny of the diplomatic exchanges between the government of India and the government of Hyderabad during the Raj and after partition and independence in 1947 has unearthed the Sunderlal Committee report on the massacre of the Muslim population of the State during and after the 'police action' (knowledge of which has since been suppressed by the Indian state) and a wealth of memoirs and first- hand accounts of the clandestine workings of territorial nationalism in its bleakest and most shameful hour. He brings to light the largely ignored and fateful intervention of M. A. Jinnah in the destruction of Hyderabad and also ac- counts for the communal leanings of Patel and K. M. Munshi in shaping its fate. The book is dedicated to the 'other' Hyderabad: a culturally syncretic state that was erased in the stampede to create a united India committed to secularism and development.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKIt is 1948. A newly-independent India is trying to persuade Hyderabad to join the Indian Union. Negotiations are difficult for both sides. The State Congress, now operating from Indian territory, has launched a campaign of violent raids, designed to cripple civil administration in the border areas, and provoke an annexation. The leading Islamic party inside Hyderabad, in an equally rash move, has created a paramilitary body, the Razakars, to counter the threat to Hyderabad’s borders. For Mohammed Hyder of the Hyderabad Civil Service, the newly-appointed Collector of Osmanabad District (situated on the Hyderabad-Bombay border), both, the wayward State Congress and the ramshackle Razakar outfit are a threat to law and order. This first-person account conveys a vivid picture of Hyderabad under pressure, through the eyes of a senior district administrator.

The Indian Princes and their States

DOWNLOAD EBOOKAlthough the princes of India have been caricatured as oriental despots and British stooges, Barbara Ramusack's study argues that the British did not create the princes. On the contrary, many were consummate politicians who exercised considerable degrees of autonomy until the disintegration of the princely states after independence. Ramusack's synthesis has a broad temporal span, tracing the evolution of the Indian kings from their pre-colonial origins to their roles as clients in the British colonial system. The book breaks ground in its integration of political and economic developments in the major princely states with the shifting relationships between the princes and the British. It represents a major contribution, both to British imperial history in its analysis of the theory and practice of indirect rule, and to modern South Asian history, as a portrait of the princes as politicians and patrons of the arts.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKErstwhile Andhra Pradesh takes pride in its rich historical and cultural heritage. Its history can give an idea of the glorious past the state has witnessed. Andhra Pradesh, whose recorded history begins in the Vedic period. To gain an independent state based on linguistic identity and protect the interests of the Telugu-speaking people, Potti Sreeramulu fasted to death in 1952. The Andhra Pradesh Reorganisation Act, 2014, commonly known as the Telangana Act, is an Act of the Indian Parliament that bifurcated the residuary Andhra Pradesh state as an outcome of the Telangana movement. However, even after Seven years of Andhra Pradesh of bifurcation on June 2, 2014, both Telangana and the residuary state of Andhra Pradesh continue to suffer bifurcation blues as most of the promises made by the Centre to both the states in the AP Reorganisation Act, 2014, remaining unfulfilled. In addition, there is no reconciliation spirit on agreeing to share water and other assets among the two States. The non-fulfilment of promises made and not a full implementation of the Andhra Pradesh Reorganisation Act-2014, problems of water sharing, assets sharing and political differences, it looks wise to suggest for Reunification of Andhra Pradesh and Telangana into a giant Telugu State with the name “UNITED TELUGU STATES OF INDIA (UTSIND)” with Hyderabad as its Capital City and Amaravathi as a second Capital City. Reunification of the two states solves all the problems they are facing. The book makes a case for forming the “UNITED TELUGU STATES OF INDIA (UTSIND)”, which will become the most developed South Indian State with its combined resources.
