Hyderabad Karnataka, The police action for merger in Indian Union.

Mir Osman Ali Khan

September 17 marks seventy years of Hyderabad's union with India. It was on this day in 1948, thirteen months after India gained independence that the state of Hyderabad ruled by Mir Osman Ali Khan, the seventh Nizam of the Asaf Jahi dynasty, surrendered to the Indian forces.

The police action, a euphemism for military action started on September 13, 1948. It had been conveyed to the Nizam that should he put up a fight, there will be unnecessary bloodshed. That did not prevent the Razakars from taking on the Indian forces. 

It took four days for Indian forces to reach the outskirts of Hyderabad. A Congress committee headed by Pandit Sunderlal that was subsequently set up, estimated that between 27,000 and 40,000 people were killed in the four days between September 13 and September 17, 1948, making it one of the bloodiest face-offs in independent India.

That evening, the Nizam walked into the radio station for the first time in his life. With the Indian forces taking over his kingdom he had ruled since 1911, the Nizam's fall from grace was only too apparent. No red carpet was laid out for him at the radio station, no anthem was played. The Nizam rushed back to King Kothi palace after the broadcast. 

Gorata village in Hulsoor taluka of Bidar district had been destroyed by Razaker activists.

This is the proof of atrocities against local population by Nizam administration after Indian freedom.
The razakars started looting a house in open day light.. The people took a decision to punish the culprit.
when the culprit was returning towards Gorta, local people killed him. The Nizam administration, on hearing the incident, sent troops to Gorta and destroyed all the village by litting fire.Many innocent people died of this unfortunate event.
